  NOTE: If the Joystick column shows an assignment already, click to highlight
  the "Pan a view" line, and then click "Delete joystick assignment" to remove
  it.

4. Double-click "Pan a view" in the Assignment list.

5. Move the POV hat switch on the joystick to assign this event.

  NOTE: As you move the POV hat switch, POV 0 should be listed in the box.
