There is.
Open the Game Controllers control panel, and add a "Microsoft Sidewinder
(Autodetect)" device (without the quotes).
You won't get any capability to install profiles, but the stick may work. (I
use a 3D Pro on an XP system. I'd been accustomed to running it in analog
emulation mode under Win98 - drivers didn't like a 133 MHz FSB - but it's a
digital stick again under XP.)
The bad news is that if the XP drivers don't work, Microsoft appears to have
dropped all support for them. (As far as I can find at
www.microsoft.com/sidewinder, it's as if MS never sold gameport devices.) I
recently read that the whole Sidewinder line is being terminated soon.
HTH.
