I just bought Wing Commander I (w/ Special Missions I and II) and am having
problems with my joystick.  My machine is a 486/25 SX and I have had the
joystick a long time and have never had this problem before.  What happens is
that the pointer just freezes causing me to use the keyboard (which is not
really possible for this game).  Also trigger firing stops.  This can be right
in the middle of a mission or at the start of the game before a mission.  I
wouldn't be complaining, but it happens about a third of the time (by Murphy's
Law the third of the time I'm winning the mission).

Has this happened to anyone else?  Is there a fix (and if so, where)?

Thanks in advance.
