Sidwinder

[Paul Webster]

I have recently been given a .....I think this is how it goes......!! a microsoft sidewinder pro steering wheel with feedback.....or something like that! and so far can only find drivers for use with 95 or 98. Anyone know if drivers are available for this bit of kit for use with XP (checked out microsofts site without luck). Cheers, Paul.

Unfortunately, Microsoft ceased support for all Sidewinder products.
Microsoft got out of the gaming hardware for PC division. They now only
support the XBox.

No idea why you asked in the Video newsgroup but the Sidewinder drivers are
all built into XP.

Connect the wheel to the PC, go to the Control Panel, click on Game
Controllers and use the AutoDetect feature.
