it seems that ever since i loaded dcs black shark to my pc. my joystick has been going crazy. it seems like 2 programs are fighting over the joy stick settings! what can i do? do i need to set the settings in dsc black shark as in lockon?

Yeah- that's a good place to start..

when i tried to set in the the joystick settings it wouldn't let me go to the left. it would stop and freeze and i would have to try again. then it said something asbout the usb was incorrect,or it was tell me it was broke!!

It might be broke or- you plugged the stick into a different USB port than which it was installed. That will often screw it all up.
