I have the sidewinder Precision 2 and it worked by default. I assume you're
referring to like the original Sidewinder ?
I'm afraid so. It's called " Sidewinder Precision Pro" Designed for Win 98. After researching the web, I found the work around for xp.. But I ca not seem to find anything for Vista. In xp you was able to use the default game controller. Not so with Vista. At least I can't find it yet.
