Anyone know of a fix for this? I 'upgraded' to DirectX9.0c and bought a new Saitek Cyborg 3D. Now when I start windows (Win98SE) I have to unplug my new stick and re-plug it in to get Windows to recognise it.

I run Stickworks' Joystart in my startup folder and although it blinks red then goes green when Windows start I still have to do the unplug-replug thing to get it to see the thing.

I just got the same joystick to replace my old one and I cant even install the thing! Angry

Luckily Saitek has forums so I'd suggest asking sum tech support guy over there- that's what I'm doin Wink

The only difference with me is that I have XP...

to both of you:
get the latest USB drivers, especially Spitfire5966 as his problem could be USB2.0 related (XP does have the HID part for USB2.0 by default, but not the hardware part)

XP doesn't support USB2.0, so you'll have to get the drivers for the new style USB ports from your mobo manufacturer

Dell support will be able to give you the MOBO manufacturer name.

dell uses their own designs.

check all the ports with a memorystick for testing... if one doesn't work mark it as defective
