Do you have a joystick port on your sound card or motherboard? It could be keeping the PDPI from working correctly, and still not cause a conflict...

I just installed the card and when I use testport to check if the system recognizes the card but it doesn't detect the digitalgame port. Anyone have this problem? any ideas what could be wrong? I followed the direction's to the T. The card show's up in device manager and say's it's working propaly and there's no conflicts.Any help would be appreciated. Thank's Buster

When you run testport, does it say legacy mode OK and then that the digital game port is not detected. If so you need to move the switch on the back of the PDPI card to the other setting (it is currently in pure legacy mode). Then run testport again and it should work.
