Title: Old Sidewinder and XP
Post by: Barnswallow on October 24, 2005, 03:29:28 PM

Finally bit the bullet and upgraded my OS to XP.  Now I find out that my old MS FF Pro joystick isnt compatable with XP.  My new OS wont even recognise that i have a joystick  arrgghhh!

anyone know of any XP drivers for the Microsoft Force Feedback Pro?  Or is there anyone there that can help me get this puppy rinning?

I am using a Sidewinder Pro with XP and have no problems.  I use a USB adpater and plugged it in and XP found and installed the joystick with no problem automatically.  Have you went to your Game Controllers in Control Panel and checked that XP is seeing the stick? You might need to setup the stick there and calibrate it.
