Does anyone know if there are XP compatible drivers available for the Sidewinder precision pro 2.0 ?

I've been looking all over the net, but i can't find anything, but maybe i'm missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

LMAO, here's me thinking you have a bank job planned...

sorry man I tried too, but to no avail, the only thing I can recomend is call the company and get help from them

According to M$ it should work OK with the software it came with.

If you have Windows XP Home Edition, the SideWinder software should install and function properly. If you have Windows XP Professional Edition, you will need to be a member of the Administrators group in order to install and use the SideWinder software.

Aside from the fact that this is enforcing a violation of standard security practice (never to use an admin account for anything except admin) you shouldnt have a problem. Theres a link to a newer version of the software, dont know if that will help but its worth a try.

Yeah, well Microsoft is wrong. It's NOT compatible with XP home edition. It doesn't recognize the Sidewinder's software. I can find drivers for almost every edition of Windows, but not for XP.

Ah well, back to the store we go. :D
