Sidewinder Install Problems

[Joey]

I'm getting an error message that the Sidewinder is not
compartable with Windows XP. Is this for real? Is there
a download to support this product?

Hi Joey,

XP uses built-in drivers and ingame settings instead of profile software:
To install your controller in XP* Plug it in, click Start / Control Panel /
Switch to Classic view if you haven't already / click Game Controllers
Click Add... / Select Microsoft Sidewinder Auto Detect / OK / OK.
*USB ones should autodetect without requiring you to use those steps.
