I got this to work by downloading the new drivers from Creative and
reserving IRQ 5 in the bios.

It's still got a querk or two though.

The creative software installs "creative gameport joystick", but my computer
over-rides it by installing the
standard "gameport joystick" from the W98se disk. This wouldn't be a problem
if my sidewinder gamepad would work.


Any suggestions??
