| | Unknown device - creative game port OS = Windows Vista Home Premium Control Panel - Device Manager - Other Devices - Unknown Device! I know this unknown device refers to a Creative Game Port. I know there is a fix/patch for it, I used it on my Vista Ultimate installation. I think it was an .ini file - cdgame? ctgame? What I don't know is where I got the file to fix the situation. If I remember right, the file was listed on a site along with the instruction. Any help appreciated - TIA BChat |

| | Re: Unknown device - creative game port Thanks Malke, I have searched their site and found nothing. I have the latest driver installed, but this is a separate issue. I'll keep looking;-) BChat "Malke" <malke@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OiYt2rh3IHA.3500@xxxxxx BChat wrote: Quote: > OS = Windows Vista Home Premium > > Control Panel - Device Manager - Other Devices - Unknown Device! > > I know this unknown device refers to a Creative Game Port. > I know there is a fix/patch for it, I used it on my Vista Ultimate > installation. > I think it was an .ini file - cdgame? ctgame? > What I don't know is where I got the file to fix the situation. > If I remember right, the file was listed on a site along with the > instruction. from the source - Creative.

| | Re: Unknown device - creative game port Kue2, Thank You, that is what I was looking for. That is the same file I used on the Vista Ultimate drive to fix the issue, ctgame2k.inf. I ran the process on the Home Premium Drive and it found the driver software file but did not complete the installation - ''A service installation in this .inf is invalid." I have no idea what that means, so now I have something else to research:-) I'll d/l another file and see what happens. If it worked in Ultimate, I think it should work in Home Premium, same machine. Thanks again for your help.
