Joystick connection problem

Just got a new computer and there doesn’t appear to be anywhere to plug my joystick into-i’ve plugged it into every socket that it will fit into in the back, but it won’t work and the word joystick does not appear in the manual anywhere!-what am i doing wrong?

You’re best bet is to try a computer fair if there is one locally, you can normally pick up the adaptor for less than a fiver.

Kind regards

Not got enough holes

I’ve just bought a joystick/foot peddles set from a charity shop with a 15 pin connector only to find my PC has a 9 pin joystick port. I have only managed to find 15-9 pin adapters that cost £15, does anybody know where I could pick one up cheaper?

PS I live between Salisbury and Andover if that is any help.

Is it a USB Connection?
Do you have Windows XP/Vista?
Do you have a driver disc with the stick, and finally what make is the joystick?
