Installing a Game Controller
Physically installing a game controller is straightforward. Simply plug it into the gameport or a USB port, as appropriate. If the controller has both connectors, use the USB port unless the documentation suggests otherwise.
Before you connect the game controller, however, we suggest that you visit the Microsoft download site and update your copy of Windows to the latest drivers, particularly DirectX.
