Those come under the "restricted drivers" category don't they? You have to manually enable those. System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager.

That isn't for drivers though. Did the stuff I told you last night work?

Cobo's on some kind of holy crusade against Linux and Vista.

WHICH MAKES HIM JUST AS BAD AS (extreme) ADVOCATES OF BOTH.

First you need Windows XP, then just download and run this: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/paintball2/paintball2_build019_full.exe?download

The linux version simply doesn't work correctly for most people.
