sidewinder force feedback pro software

[Tim Bob]

I have a sidewinder forcefeedback pro thats a few years
old. Now I have a new computer with XP. Is there software
that will run it on XP? The old software (2.0) won't
install and I don't see an XP upgrade. The 3.02 software
download doesn't work with XP.

XP should automatically install this for you. The drivers should be
included. Have you tried just hooking it up and installing it through
the Add New Hardware Wizard? Or you can try this (borrowed from Joshua
Smith [MSFT]):

1. Connect the device to the gameport
2. Start -> Run -> Control Panel
3. Switch to "Classic View".
4. Run the Gaming Options control
5. In Gaming Options Click the "Add..." button.
6. From the list choose "Microsoft SideWinder (Auto Detect)"
7. This should install your device.
