Neede: Driver, For: Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro Joystick. _I have an old Microsoft joystick. So, where is the drive, in XP itself of course. How good._
go into Settings/ Control Panel in the Start menu. Select Game Controllers from the list (If you can’t see Game Controllers in the list select “Switch to Classic View” at the top left of the screen then select Game Controllers from the list). Select Add in the dialogue box which appears. From the list that appears select Microsoft Sidewinder (auto-detect). Click OK and exit your way back out. After doing all this, sure enough my computer has detected my Sidewinder Pro Force Feedback joystick. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet re-installed any programs which use it yet so I don’t know how well it works.
