Mechwarrior 4 Patch 3 in Windows XP locks after Mech Lab!

DoubleEcho

I recently bought a used copy of Mechwarrior 4 and started playing it over the weekend. I didn't have any problems at all, and changed loadouts in the Mech Lab without a problem. I did some digging and found that there was a patch, so I applied Patch v3.

tie fighter with usb joystick

flofauth

Hi everybody I have installed tie fighter on a windows XP laptop (running well, no sound problems but only in low res)and I would like to use a proper joystick instead of ruining my trackpoint. Unfortunately I have only USB ports for a joystick to use and this does not work.
