I'll give my left nut if....

Umm...NOT!!! Just dl'ed the ver. 1.5 Profiler and I can not adjust my MS
Sidewinder Pro 3D sensitivity. There is no option offered for
sensitivity in this program. All I can do is map keyboard keys to my
stick buttons.

Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.

   Oh well, I'd better go out and get a Sidewinder then. Right after I
finish DLing IE4 for the Zone. LOL.

Yes, you're doing something wrong...  not paying close attention. :-)  The
fact that he talks about Game Device Profiler having Precision Pro/Force
Feedback Pro support, it's obvious that he has the version of GDP that comes
with one of those two products.  According to Microsoft's web site, those two
products come with Game Device Profiler _2.0_..  However, the latest version
available for download is 1.5.  Microsoft says 2.0 will be available for
download "soon", whenever the hell that is supposed to be. :)  (If it's done
and shipping with software, why not put it up for download?)

answer it."...
