Microsoft Sidewinder
I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this question but,
here it is anyway. I have a MS sidewinder joy stick I would like to install. I have followed the directions to long on as Administrator but, the set up program does not recognize the login. Perhaps because it is a win95 series? Any other thoughts? Thanks, Rick |

Thanks, Rick You won't be able to use the Sidewinder software. To install the drivers for the joystick, use the Game Controllers applet in Control Panel and pick "Microsoft Sidewinder (autodetect)". You'll get basic functionality but not the programmability that the Sidewinder software afforded you (you'll need to rely on whatever programming the game provides for your particular input device). -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post your replies to the newsgroup.
