Sidewinder Game Controller for Win XP

[James Lafreniere]

Windows XP will not allow me to load software (V3.0) for
this device. I get an incombatability message. I get the
same message with V3.2 download.

I cannot find a software download for the Sidewinder
Precision Pro controller for Windows XP Home Edition.

Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks. Jim

Try this...
Goto the Game Controller Control Panel
Then Add, Microsoft Sidewinder (auto-detect)...


Please note that any Profiling software that came with the gameport hardware
won't work as that was not designed for Windows XP. There are currently no
plans for updates.

Go to Control Panel and click on Game Controllers. Use the AutoDetect
feature to get XP to install the drivers which are included in XP.
