hi all,
recently i got into problem with my gamepad(running on game port). It is working excellently on win98se, but win XP is not recognising it. some times back there was no problem even on xp. now i have installed winxp afresh ,but still facing the same problem.
i have cmi8738 pci sound card enabled and disabled the onboard sound( sigmatel ac97).

No, It wasn't detected during h/w detection stage of XP during startup.
not even when i used "add hardware". game port is not onboard, but resides on cmi8738 pci sound card.
actually, gamepad was working very well on winXP 3 months back, before I installed some new hardwares like a modem and a DVD drive.
Even I reinstalled XP, problem is still there. I could not be able to find any resource conflict prob. also i updated bios for my intel 845glly chipset.
