That's great news. Glad it all worked out.

Have you fired up that Flight Simulator yet?

Hi RickyTick:

Not yet........Still loading updates, Activating XP, etc........and that is time comsuming for me , still on a dail up for now.

I also have a old Microsoft Joystick ( sidewinder ) that I like to use to fly the sims I can't hook up yet. I like this stick very much and would like to keep it although it is out dated. I need to find a adapter that would take MIDI to a USB port. Things in the electronic world become obsolete fast don't they........lol. I get it up and running though! Anyways......Thanks again.
