Hi, :) I have a problem with my joystick on vista 32 and 64. The Joystick works fine but the problem that windows vista did not sense that I'm using it. So after period of time the monitor goes to stand by and I have to press a button or move the mouse to start the monitor again ! Maybe someone will say stop monitor from going to standby from control panel but I cant because I usually leave the PC for sometime and I can't let the monitor on. Anybody had this problem or only me? Should I try another Joystick? If yes what you recommend? Thank you. -- The_Wolf88

How can the joystick work if Vista doesn't detect the joystick? > Maybe someone will say stop monitor from going to standby from control > panel but I cant because I usually leave the PC for sometime and I > can't let the monitor on. What? Oh, your game doesn't keep the monitor awake and it goes into standby mode. Talk to the game maker. Some games don't keep the monitor awake during long joystick sessions. > Anybody had this problem or only me? I'm sure you're not the only one, grasshopper. > Should I try another Joystick? Sure... > If yes what you recommend? A different one. You never said what joystick, what game, what kind of computer (make/model). Not sure what to suggest. Learn to post complete thoughts? -- -A.
> > Andy [YaYa] > I bought it for 10 $ from non famous company. Sorry I mixed up between joystick and Game pad The One I currently use is Game pad One similar to Playstation Controller When I said that vista don't detect it I was meaning that Vista don't sense that I'm using it. So after sometime monitor goes to standby. This problem happens in all games not only one game. I tried it on Windows XP 32 & 64 bit and it works perfectly the screen did not go to standby only in vista this problem happen. I think I will buy new gamepad from Logitec or Genius. Thanks for your help.. -- The_Wolf88
Go to power options in control panel and set your pc for maximum power usage config, go to the screensaver option, and set that to never use a screensaver. If you leave your PC, switch off the monitor!
You have to tell your compuer not to go to standby by going to the control panel and changing this in the power settings. -- mmmikezd
> You have to tell your compuer not to go to standby by going to the > control panel and changing this in the power settings. As I said before I can't keep my pc all time running without going to standby. I'm a movable person so I always leave the pc on and go somewhere else. That's why I configuare it to go to standby after period of time. Thanks for your replay :) -- The_Wolf88
Then just change the settings while you play the games and then before you leave the house change it back to standby. -- mmmikezd
> Then just change the settings while you play the games and then before > you leave the house change it back to standby. This is not good. But I figure the Game Pad Only not senced in PES2008 In Assassin creed and Most Wanted monitor keeps working !! Do you think it's a game bug? -- The_Wolf88
I guess it could be. I was just wondering why you like the standby so much? This is my system. I have a Gigabyte Mobo. Intel core 2 quad. Windows Vista Ultimate X64, EVGA 8800 gts super overclocked from the factory with 640 onboard. I like this video card because it will run direct x 10 games. I have 8 gig of DDR2 high speed ram. I have 1 terabyte's of hard drive space. Its all in a Antec tower with a 750 watt power supply. I built this system about 8 months ago and I have NEVER used standby at all and my computer is never turned off. It may be that the game that you are having a problem with does not support the game pad you are using. It could be that I guess. It could be that the game is not made for Vista and is not shutting off the standby part of Vista. Your guess is as good as mine on that one. I hope you find out. Mike -- mmmikezd

What I meant that Only the Monitor I configured to go to standby mode after period of time and not all the PC. You know leaving a monitor turn on all time not good specially when it is LCD because that will affect the quality of colors after period of time. So I only configured the monitor to go to standby mode after period of time. I leave my PC 24 hours on and that's not a problem. I hope you understand what I meant. Thanks for replay.. :) -- The_Wolf88
I understand now, Sorry about that. I just talked to my computer guru friend of mine. We both have been building computers for about 20 years now but he still knows more than I do. He said he had never heard of that before also. He said that you will have to look into the game settings to see if there is anything that might help in there. He said probably you will have to take the monitor off that standby while you play the game and then change it back when you are done playing the game. You might write the game company and ask them if they have a fix for that problem. They might already know about the problem and have a fix for that. I hope you find the answer to this, Mike -- mmmikezd

I'll write to Konami asking for fix. Thank you again for your help.. :) -- The_Wolf88
If I was having this problem thats what I would do. If there has been a problem like this they would know about it or may have some Ideas on how to fix your problem. Good luck man. If you ever have any other problems with anything at all just let me know. If I don't know the answer I surely can find it out. Glad to help you, Mike -- mmmikezd
I just noticed that you are running Vista Premium X64 version of windows. I run windows Vista Ultimate X64 version. What is your computer like, Like CPU, Ram, Video Card and stuff like that? You should download a program called Belarc Advisor. Its a free program and man does it tell you about your computer. You can even print out what it finds out for you. And when I say it tells you about your computer I mean it tells you things you can't find out anyother way that I have found. Like I said it is a free program. I hope it helps you out in some way, Mike -- mmmikezd

Well, I think it is much easier for you to turn off your monitor when you're leaving. Anyway, I've got 2 Joystick and i notice that one works fine but the other has the same problem just like yours. So i guess that Joysticks which support XInput can meet your need, and DirectInput mode can't.
