I got the same problem Duck, only under W2K. MS has no drivers for w2K for the Sidewinder PRO. Go figure.

Had it in teh USB when I used XP, worked great. Doesn't discover it if you install drivers either?

Windows 2000 and XP have native support for microsoft joysticks. You can try to install the sticks manually from the stick controller menu, just choose 'add' in gaming options and set the stick type you have.

Duckwing did you try to apply the patch microsoft has for the problem?
They have a downloadable patch which is supposed to fix the problems with joystick detection (only meant to be used if you have a problem like yours, not all have.)
