If you're having trouble with the joystick in Shadows of Cairn, you
can try the following:

Edit CAIRN.INI. This file will be found in your Windows directory if
you are running the Windows version or in your DOSEXE directory (by
default C:\CAIRN\DOSEXE) if you're running the DOS version. In this
file add the following line(s):

    JoyPctX=xxx where xxx is a number between 1 and 100.
	 JoyPctY=yyy where yyy is a number between 1 and 100.

As you've probably guessed JoyPctX is used for the left and right
joystick positions and JoyPctY is used for the up and down positions.

Make sure to add the line under the "[Shadows of Cairn]" label in the
Windows INI file.

The default value for this parameter is 50(%) which means take the
centered position of the joystick and add or subtract 50% of that
value to get the values for the left and right (or top and bottom)
positions.

If Quinn is not moving when you move the joystick to the left or right,
reduce this value (try 40 or 30).

If Quinn is always moving even when the joystick is centered, increase
this value (try 60 or 70).
