    Hi all,
    I am running Win 7 ultimate and installed the virtual xp machine. It installed fine and is running my old Fury 3 program just fine with one exception: XP will not recognize my joystick.
    It is not listed in device manager in XP but it is listed in device manager in win7. I tried to add it manually, but it tells me that that the game port is not configured properly and to go to device manger.
    Anyone know how to add the joystick?

    Thanks
    Sven

    Windows Virtual Machine software is way too limited and won't let you attach USB devices. You'll have to try either Oracle's VirtualBox or VMware Player.
