    Default Game won't read my joystick...Any ideas?[FIXED]

    Last night I wanted to play one of my favorite "flight sims" Crimson Skies. So I loaded it up and everything went great. The game runs and plays but my joystick wasn't working. The game acted like it didn't exist. It's a usb Sidewinder Precision 2. It shows up in windows registering all buttons and everything in control pannel. They are both Microsoft products from the same era. I used the 2 together before flawlessly on my 98 machine. Is this some weird XP thing? Any ideas of things I can try?
