Windows (xp) not detecting game pad

benie102 · 06-06-2008, 09:23 AM

Hi, I recently tried using a gamepad I got given by my older bro, with it being given to me there was no instalation CD (not sure if there was one originally). So does anyone know I would go about getting the gamepad to work?

The gamepad is PCline (product code 055356)

Thanks in advance.

try google the device and get the drivers from the manufacturer's website

How old is this game pad and what plug does it use to connect to your PC?

I'm not sure on how old it is, however it appears fairly modern, and as for googling for drivers I'm afraid my ISP has messed up my net connection which has resulted in me being unable to connect to search engienes :(.

PS. Connection is via usb (2.0 usb port installed on comp)

It may require drivers, good luck! :D
