Sidewinder Controllers

[Guest]

I have a Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick which I
used on Windows 98 OS. I have now upgraded the OS to W2000
Professional. The installation disc which was supplied
with the joystick does not load the drivers as it was
intended for W98 operation.

Where can I find the W2000 software/drivers for my
joystick? Or what other solution is there?

Thanks

on some games it does work but for others Sh_t outta

Correct, MS has dropped support for the older joysticks, you can use
the standard 'Microsoft SideWinder (auto-detect)' driver supplied with
Windows XP in the Game Controller control panel.
