-- Joystick not found after installing TBP?!? (https://volitionwatch.game-warden.com/vwbb/showthread.php?threadid=4877)

So what happens when you rename the /data directory? I mean, aside from the registry thing, all our installer does is dump data.

I figured it out!!!

It wasn't TBP, or my joystick, OR FS fault! the problem was WinXP identified it as a win98/ME program, and set it to RUN with win ME era compatability. wonderful with some programs, not with others!

so, I HAVE A JOYSTICK! WHO HOO!

Thank you for all your help guys!!!
