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 |

I would imagine that missing drivers for a *Creative* Game Port would come from the source - Creative. So check on their website for your specific sound card drivers.

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@invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:OiYt2rh3IHA.3500@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

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. BChat "Kue2" <Kue2@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:uegQu6h3IHA.3576@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
