ok, someone out there posted a file you could use to get WinXP to work with old analog CH stuff.

Horn?  I need that link again sir.

I can not get Win XP to recognize my keyboard when I have my keyboard cable from my CH FighterStick installed. I know I need a batch file to bootup program it then boot up regular in winXP.

I am having major withdrawls, and need to get back up flying ASAP!

I tryed doing a search on the messageboards but was unlucky!

I know it is here somewhere


HELP!

I just have an old spare 8mg HD with Windows ME loaded, pop it into my PC and program buttons on throttle to what i want.

Then i have a USB converter from Radio Hack for the Pro Throttle connector, no need for a game port.

Windows XP will reconize the throttle control and all the buttons, works like a charm.
