RE: VE doesn't work properly

The problem is that lots of people have joysticks, but not everyone uses
them with Windows apps yet. So most people haven't ever run the Windows
joystick calibration routine, and when VE tries to use the joystick, strange
things happen. I'll move automatic joystick calibration testing to the
top of my to-do list.

Thanks,

I'm experiencing exactly the same "symptoms" on my system. Needless to say
this
has ruined my impression of VE. I can send you (Microsoft) the specs of my
system, and if you have a fix or a work-around please let us know. This is
not
just an isolated problem.
