that's the weird part......it's not listed in the drop down list, even after
you install it.  I guess they figure, why would you want to "add" something
that is already there. I did figure out a partial solution.....I use my
"remove-it"
program to re-install the Sidewinder software with the click of one button.
It's not the perfect solution, but it's easy.
