joystick problem. works for one comp not the other.



Hello all,

I am trying to acquire data from my joystick. it's a simple vi with
initializing joystick vi and acquire input data vi and it works
perfectly flawlessly fine on my office computer windows xp, but once i
try the same vi with the same joystick in my lab, it does not read out
anything but the default values for axis info or direction info. the
only difference i can see is that the lab computer uses windows
2000...both have directX 9.0 installed since i saw that these vis
require directx 8.0 or higher.

from system panel's game controller, i can successfully test my
joystick and it works fine for both computers...but the vi just don't
seem to work in the windows 2000 one.
both comp have labview 8.0.

any suggestion in how i can fix this? what would be the reason to this?

thank you all!
