Who can get my Act labs light gun to work with mame?

[ivwshane]

Ok so I got my brand new shiney light gun to go with mame and I can not get it to work:(
I've enabled lightgun support in the global options as well as in the game specific options. I was able to get the gun to shoot but I cannot aim it. I've tried calibrating the gun with the calibration button but it doesn't do anything except go to a white screen from which I move the gun left and right and up and down.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Also if I unplug the light guns USB cable my screen goes blank, is that supposed to happen?
