That's your Joystick Gameport.
If you also have a question mark corresponding to PNPB02F device, that's
your MIDI port.

Drivers belong to the Realtek audio chipsets in the mobo.
Realtek Web page is
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&Software=True
Drivers are for x64 (not Vista).
I would extract the driver
(ftp://152.104.238.194/pc/ac97/alc650/WDM_A389.exe) to a folder and try to
install only the joystick/midi drivers from the \WDM folder.

Driver package also includes 32-bit drivers.
So, my workaround might just work.
