Yes, Skuzzy. But my joystick software for my now unsupported MSWPP2 twisty stick will only install to a directory called C:\windows - and not C:\WINNT. Still, even that will become academic because I intend to get a USB stick - probably the Fox2Pro - and will reinstall AH on W2000P.

Win XP will autodetect a MSSWPP2. I did it the other day on my wife's computer using a non-USB MSWPP2. Go to control panel>game controllers>add>Sidewinder auto detect and XP will find the stick and use it's inbuilt drivers to run it, np.

Just an FYI if you have XP available to you.

beet1e, W2K and XP have native support for that stick. No software is required.

Yes I know. But you can't use that native support to program the base buttons and thumb buttons.
