Have you updated all the drivers for your computer? (mother board, video card, USB ports etc..)<P>Also what does the microsoft web site say about your joystick?<p>[ 15 July 2003: Message edited by: Griffin ]

Go into control panel, then go to game controlers then remove and add it again. Try that, update drivers, and if it doesnt work come back

Logitech Wingman Force 3D, I swear by it. Its got a POV hat (8 way), 7 fully programmable buttons (the profiler software is excellent), a throttle slider (pretty accurate) and a twist function for the Z axis which can be software disabled or hardware disabled if you find yourself flying upside down ;)<p>[ 15 July 2003: Message edited by: Avenger One ]

Thanks for the hlep guys just one last thing do you think it could be a combo of the graphics card and the XP and not a Joystick Problem at all?

I'd buy that stick anyway. I love it and Im pretty sure ill never switch it again. and it works with XWA for me so Im pretty sure it'll work with your XWA. The profiler recognizez the game
