Title: Microsoft 3D Sidewinder Pro
Post by: Kevin14 on August 26, 2003, 01:38:33 PM
You see, I have two of the gamepads, and one of the joysticks.  Both of the game pads work with both of my computers, but the joystick only works with the older one.  On the Microsoft website it gave two problems that I could possibly have.  The first one, that I am missing pins in the plug into the computer.  I don't know why this would be a problem, because it works on the older computer.  The second possible reason, the operating system on the newer computer is not compatible with the joystick.  This doesn't make sense, because unless I'm missing something, the gamepads use the same software as the joystick, thus the joystick should be able to work on the newer computer.  Thanks for answers :)
