What exactly is the Sidewinder 'profiler' problem and how can I work around
it?
I read something about Sidewinder software version 4.0 being compatible -
but I cannot seem to find any place to download it... ?
I am planning on installing a non-usb MSFF on my new Win XP pro system....
will that work or should I start shopping for a new wheel too??
Thanks!

That said, Windows XP does work with game port devices, however you cannot
install the supporting software for them. The support needs to come from
within the individual games themselves (even editing certain *.ini or
player.* files to enable force feedback) for the modifications. Best choice
is to save up the coins and opt for a USB device when you can.
