OK, were there any instructions on the CD that came with the unit? If not, try going to Control Panel, then Game Controllers and follow the instructions - maybe it's configured as a serial game controller maybe on Com1, or Com2.
If you found it, you're all set, if not, try loading the FMS program then go to Controls, then select Analog Control then select each of the options and click on resourses to see if anything is being recognized, if you find something in resources that responds to you moving the controller sticks, then that is your setup so just go to configure.
If your Transmitter is sending out a sound (Freq) and trying to use the Serial port on XP systems, then it's doubtful that you'll get it to work. Many have tried (unsuccessfully to my knowledge) to use the serial and/or parallel port to interface with FMS... it just seems to be a real problem. However, a Joystick will work or a Joystick type of transmitter like the first ones produced by Dave Brown.
There is a fairly easy way to use the mic port to interface just about any FM transmitter that has buddy cord option or output that can be recognized by the Windows Sound Recorder.
