Sometimes my games work fine with my USB joystick/gamepad/whatever and sometimes they don work at all. Whats going on?
A5: Some games assume there’s only one game controller connected to your system at a time. Thus, if you have multiple game controllers on your system, a game may not be able to find the right game controller. The easiest way to get around this is to plug in only one controller at a time, regardless of whether the controller attaches via a game port or USB. In Windows, you can change the game controller’s ID via Start->Settings->Control Panel->Game Controllers->Advanced. Typically, games that only look for one controller find the game controller with ID 1.
