My Joystick is not working under Win95. If I select 'Joystick' in 
control pannel, I get the message 'Joystick not connected properly' and 
the calibration options are blanked out. I have a Thrustmaster ACM 
gamecard with CH Flightstick Pro joystick and rudder pedals.
This is not a problem for me at the moment because I have only dos games 
which run perfectly with the above hardware.
Is there anyone who has had this difficulty and solved it?

Many Thanks,  Richard.

I had the exact same problem with my ACM.  First off make sure that the 
drivers for the ACM are installed, under adding new hardware.  if they 
are, and mine were and you're still getting the problem, like I was try 
this.  Plug your joystick into the other port of the ACM (the one you're 
not supposed to use according to the docs) This solved all my problems.  
Its great now I have my phoenix on the left port and my gamepad on the 
other and they both work.  Hope this helps.
