I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this question but,
here it is anyway.

I have a MS sidewinder joy stick I would like to install. I have
followed the directions to long on as Administrator but, the set up
program does not recognize the login. Perhaps because it is a win95
series? Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Rick

You won't be able to use the Sidewinder software. To install the
drivers for the joystick, use the Game Controllers applet in Control
Panel and pick "Microsoft Sidewinder (autodetect)". You'll get basic
functionality but not the programmability that the Sidewinder software
afforded you (you'll need to rely on whatever programming the game
provides for your particular input device).
