MS no longer makes or supports Sidewinder devices, version
2 or otherwise.
The dirvers you are forced to use are the cheap windows
internal drivers. You should be able to plugin your device
and becuase you are using the force feed bak you are
screwed even more, since these drivers don't allow the
changing of options.
It seems to me that the accuracy of the devices was brought
down a level with the introduction of these drivers as
well, but that's just a hunch.
Your best bet is to just buy a new joystick, but IMHO I've
yet to see any good joysticks as of late. I haven't really
looked, but if I played more sim games I definatly would be
looking into getting a new JS.
Sorry for the bad news, I hope it helped in some way.
