Hi Arleen,
XP has the drivers built in, no need to worry about that lost CD.
Here are instructions for both the USB and the Gameport models:
While USB devices just plug and play, GamePort devices need work:
To install a GamePort controller, 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.
