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.

How can the joystick work if Vista doesn't detect the joystick?

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.

I'm sure you're not the only one, grasshopper.

Sure...

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?

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.

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.

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.

Then just change the settings while you play the games and then before
you leave the house change it back to standby.
