I'm very frustrated by the fact that, in spite of my installing the Rebel14 
patch, my joystick is still squirrely.

Before the patch I couldn't even calibrate the thing, now I can. Only, 
whenever I lock onto anything and press the fire button, the sight jumps off 
and refused to lock. Doesn't matter what it is, which screen, I've even tried 
it wil RAEASY and it's the same story.

It's not my joystick, I've got 4 different sticks from 3 different 
manufactures and they all do the same thing.

Yes, I've disabled my memory manager, with no luck. I'd try different drivers 
on my sound card, but it takes so long that it's overwhelming to keep plugging 
in values and starting over. *sigh*

Anyone else had this problem? (I remember someone else mentioning it but 
didn't hear how/if they solved it.)

Also, my digitized speech takes odd moments of slurring (Okay, kid, go 
RRRRRRRRRight.) I thought THAT was addressed, too, but don't know what to do.

I'm dismayed that a game that sells for 65 dollars can't even  be made to work 
right. What's the deal?

Sorry if this sounds bitchy, that's not my intent, but I AM pretty frustrated.

Advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
