Default Computer can not read gamepad

hmm, I had my gamepad on USB cable (usb cable is a link between the pins and usb), it works, but somehow i broke my usb cable... now i put my gamepad on the other gamepad slot (not usb.. dont know what slot is that... has many pins) the computer can not detect it anymore >.<....
anyone know what problem it is? maybe i disabled something so the pc cudnt read it... ?

Default is it the game port?

if i can understand you correctly.. it might be the game port that can come by itslef, along with the sound card, or built into the motherboard(dont hold me to either three of them).. but does it look like the parallel port connection or the monitor cable connection on the back of your pc? if it is... have you ever tried using that connection before instead of the usb connection? if so, have it worked? if not.. it might be that that cable on the gamepad isn't working or you may have not configured your gameport that might of come in those 3 ways..

If you use this connection you're going to need drivers for it. Go to the gamepad MFGr's website and see if you can find a driver for it, or windows may have the driver, but you have to go to Add New Hardware Wizard

Have you tried plugging it in with your PC switched of and then starting it back up, as if you are using a gameport connector (with many pins) it is not hot swappable (You can;t unplug/plug it in with you pc switched on). If this is the case your computer should recognise it when windows starts up
