have Abit Bh6 ,P3 700, 256 meg ram
Freash install ME 98 with just the SBlive .
install had everything else, but pulled all out to see if fix problem.
In Creative manager I have a "CREATIVE MISCELLANEOUS DEVICES "header
inside it has the following
+creative gameport joystick
+Creative multimedia interface
+creative SB16 emulation

Inside of the "sound ,Video, And game controllers " Header
I have the following
+ATI WDM rage theater video
+creative SB live
+HID-Compliant game controller ************

The "HID" is my problem Ive updated to the lastest ME SB drivers no help
I need to get rid of the HID compliant drivers and use the SB live drivers

I cant use my Microsoft controllers because theyre not reconized thru the gameport.
I have the latest MS sindewinder center
drivers installed
Even my non MS controlers dont sem to calibrate correctly with this hid controller driver in there.

Sorry this post so long
But Ive got Crimson skies and am dying to play And dont want to downgrade back to win SE
Thanks
