Try using the built in Sidewinder Drivers in Windows XP
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.

Appologies for jumping in on this, but I am trying to do what you say
and keep getting a "Your gameport or gameport drivers are not properly
configured. Please consult the Device Manager". When I go to the
device manager, there are no errors being reported. Any suggestions?
