I have a Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro joystick. I'm running Windows 2000 Pro with 1.2Ghz CPU and 256M RAM and a GeFOrce2 64 MB card. I keep losing the joystick controls during flight. It starts out working fine but I lose it later. I think it may be during radio transmissions it seems to blank out. Can anyone advise?:(

I had the same problem with my SWPro3D joystick.
I don't use it now because its broken.
What I ended up doing was setting up the joystick in the Gaming Options ( Start / Settings / Control Panel ) as CH Flight Stick or CH Flight Stick Pro ( sorry can't remember which one )
Make sure you check the Rudder/Pedal box.
The only negitive thing with this was that the lower 4 Buttons on the base wouldn't work.
Now some people had success with the lastest driver and with the patch.

It worked for my friend but not for me.
Hope you have better luck with the driver and patch than I did, but my joystick work fine as a CH Flight ...............

You can check CH product tech service, there they state that if your running with an AMD cpu there is a problem in usoft os with clk setting that cause this and they send you to a usoft site that will have the patch to correct this, but I'm pretty certain it pertains to AMD cpus only
