Hi guys (and gals)!!!!

I got a problem with my joystick and Allegro in general. I currently have 
Allegro 3.0, plus I keep up with the WIP, so I have the latest from May 98. 
I have two joysticks, a Flight Pro stick and a PC ProPad 4. The Flight Pro 
stick is of no problems, although I see that Allegro does not seem to use 
the HAT switch as I saw from the example program. My problem comes from the 
ProPad which is a digital joystick. In the Allegro Joystick example program, 
I can go anywhere but to the left, even after calibrating it. Sometimes, 
depending on how I calibrate it, my joystick is moving to the right. 
Sometimes it does not unless I move it to the right, but it will go up and 
down and to the right and all four buttons work, but for some reason it 
refuses to go to the left. It works perfectly fine in all of my games 
(except flight which I use the other joystick). I am not using a Y connector 
or anything, so one joystick is usually sitting next to the computer while 
the other is plugged in. I also noticed that there was a Super Nintendo 
emulator written using Allegro, and there was still the same problem, I 
cannot move to the left. I don't know why but Allegro seems to be the only 
program that is having problems with my PC ProPad 4. Got any ideas on how to 
fix this? All other games I play use it very well except Allegro. Don't know 
why though....
