I have a WIndows 95 based pc, and my DOS games run fine, except for one thing, they dont read my joystick or my Gravis PC Gamepad. I have tried them both, and no, they are not connected at the sametime. In windows, they work, but no DOS games read them. PLEASE HELP ME! I want Descent and Jazz Jackrabbit both to use tem. THANX

Go to Game Controler in Control panel and set up generic 4 button gamepad, or standard joystick.[/list]

Yes- Pretty sure you may need to load some DOS config.sys/autoexec.bat driver for that thing to run in DOS from Win95 (like some of the old CD-ROMs do). I've got my original DOS/Win Gravis disk around someplace. When I find will send a PM.
