I recently reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled my 4in1 drivers, Win98SE and the software for AH and the MS Sidewinder stick. Initially the stick took right off and with no problems I flew a few test sorties to get the views etc set up. I logged out of AH but did not turn off the computer. When I logged onto AH a while later...the JS would not work. The system says connected and OK. The software is still in the MS hardware folder but the stick does not work. I deleted the software for the stick and reinstalled it...still did not work. I deleted it again and reinstalled, this time the stick worked but only until I logged out of the game (again without turning off the computer) did I miss a driver somewhere? This is a USB stick, the software said to install software before plugging in the Stick. I did it exactly this way. Is this a USB port prob? The stick show OK in device manager. This would not be the case I would think if the USB was not up. Anyone else ever have this type of problem? Enquiring minds want to know. This stick ran for a year on this machine without a prob.
