Hi
I have a MS sidewinder force feedback pro  joystick( gameport )version
unfortunately winxp will not let me load the V 3.02 software to program the
buttons .(1) Is there a work around (2)if not is it possible to run two
operating systems on the same computer,currently i'm running winxp pro.
I also have a USB msffb wheel which is using version 4 of the controller
software.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
TIA

You dont need the software as Win XP has its own version already installed.

Then Calibrate the wheel in Game Controllers,pressing all the buttons at the
end.

Now program the buttons ingame..

Same for the wheel.

Hi,
Unfortunatly the newer version game controller software  does not recognise
my joystick so i cannot use any game schemes or make my own,i was useing
win98 before with no problems.The wheel works fineon both os,any suggestions
where i could look to find a solution,microsoft web site is no use they just
say winxp does not support older versions of sidewinder ffb joysticks.
TIA
