firbal your in luck. as you know xp does not support gameport or keyboard programing. i have ch f16 fiterstic gameport and just a few days ago was able to get it fully functional in xp. there are a couple ways to go. basically you need to install a freeware app called porttalk. (i/o ports in xp are locked). supposedly if configured properly you can even program with speedkeys in xp but i did not get that far. i have a dual boot system (xp/98). so i am able to boot to 98 to load templates to my fiterstic, then run them in xp. another workaround is another free app tht allows you to make a boot disk with a simple dos boot image and the old dos programing apps from ch (not sure about the programming of your peddals since i use ch, but you should be able to use them thru porttalk). so you boot to floppy dwnload template to stic thn reboot to xp, simple. the setup of sum of this stuff isnt easy, instructions are sketchy at best. should be able to find wht ya need at the ch hanger or stickworks.com if ya cant find links, leave another post and ill put a thread to them. or contact me in ma.
