I bought an adaptor to convert this from gameport to usb but my new pc(win7) does not recognize it. I used it in xp+gameport before. How can i get win 7 to read my joystick again?

For that it' driver installed in computer.
Press windows key +r key so you can see run type in run "devmgmt.msc" then press enter then you can see device manager.
Uninstall all usb drivers from there then it automatic install all usb drivers.
Go to control panel->add remove program and uninstall joystick driver then reinstall from disk.
If you haven't disk then download driver from joystick manufecturer web sites.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

It doesnt read. It probably just cant work.
You need the drivers for your particular adaptor. And i am not sure that they maybe available for WIN7. Sadly these are the problems faced when converting to a newer OS.
