[games_access] Vista problems with JoyToKey - can anyone help?

[Amit Pitaru [LIST]]

Hey Barrie, 
 
Thank, I'll definitely try out the 5 steps you mention below. If needed,
I'll email Ryo in Japanese (my wife is from Tokyo) and try to sort it out.
But first I should test it on Vista in person as I wasn't there when the
student installed it with the OT.
 
All the best,
Amit
 
PS - sorry for misspelling you name (again!) - Dyslexia is at fault.

Hi Amit,

Visat compatibility problems - predictable wasn't it? All I have so far as
way of a possible solution (not tested it yet) is this:

1. Right Click on JoyToKey.exe
2. Click properities
3. Go to Compatibility Tab
4. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode"(Make sure it's XP SP2)
5. Check "Run this program as an administrator"
The author of JoyToKey is Ryo Ohkubo and you can find his e-mail within the
README file of JoyToKey. He speaks a little English. It would be great to
get a fix sorted out. Good luck!
 
Oh - and by the way - It's Barrie - not Berrie!
 
All the best,
 
Barrie

Hey Berrie, 
 
One of my students is having similar problems with Vista at home. I wasn't
there myself but the OT told me it doesn't run on the child's machine. I'm
not sure if it's a compatibility with the gamepad or the software. Who's the
author of this great software? Perhaps I can get in touch with them and help
recompile the source-code.
 
Cheers,
Amit

I have a person trying to get JoyToKey work with a standard PC USB joypad.
They've just upgraded to Vista. I'm not sure if there is a compatibility
problem here.
 
Does anyone out there have Vista running on their PC and a USB Joypad?
 
If so, do you have time to test out JoyToKey, please:

All I want to know is - can you get your joystick to act as the keyboard or
mouse?
 
Here's a one-switch on-line game that just uses SPACE that would be a good
test:
