No, there aren't, Paul. The basic drivers for game port devices are
automatically installed by the system when you Add the controller in Control
Panel/Game Controllers by selecting Microsoft SideWinder (Auto Detect). If
you have the version 4.x CD for USB devices, it might give you a warning
about not being compatible with Windows 2000, but just ignore that message.
If you don't have the CD, just plug it in and the system will recognize it
and install the proper drivers.
