I have just brought a sidewinder game pad and XP will
recognise it on the hardwear tree but it will not sign the
device or find a compatable driver any help please
 
I am guessing that the device is a gameport device. You can get basic
functionality for this device because the drivers are
already in Windows XP, but the software for mapping keyboard buttons to
controller buttons isn't available. To use the device do the following:

1. Connect the device to the gameport
2. Start -> Run -> Control Panel
3. Switch to "Classic View".
4. Run the Gaming Options control
5. In Gaming Options Click the "Add..." button.
6. From the list choose "Microsoft SideWinder (Auto Detect)"
7. This should install your device.

Let me know if you need more help.
