You have to make sure you have a double joystick port for it to work.  Try 
running the configuration/diagnostic program (cjoy or something like that) 
that came on the disk with it.  Try all the buttons, if they don't work you've 
got a single joystick port instead of a dual one.  If you have a sound blaster 
(I guess all sound cards now have them) there is a joystick port there which 
is dual, try it out.  (Be warned you might have to open your case and disable 
the joystick port on your IO card (or motherboard depending on the machine - 
I've seen motherboards with the IO card built in...).)

If the diagnostic program reacts to all of the buttons then you're set.  Start 
up Tie and feel the power of the HAT!  (I'm amazed I haven't worn mine out.

Hope this helps.  Back to my morning dose of sugar...
