-- Here are instructions for both the USB and the Gameport models: The version 4 software for USB Sidewinders is XP compatible, of course, you have to be using an administrators account to install it*. If it gives you a warning, you can click OK and continue installing it. *Install the software before connecting the device to the USB port! Version 3 software isn't XP compatible, we'll use XP's drivers instead. While USB devices just plug and play, GamePort devices need work: To install a GamePort controller, Plug it in, click Start / Control Panel / Switch to Classic view if you haven't already / click Game Controllers Click Add... / Select Microsoft Sidewinder Auto Detect / OK / OK. -- Cheers, Windows XP MVP Shell / User Jimmy S. http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Game FAQs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=FH;[LN];gms Visit my Zone.com / Gaming Helpsite: http://nibblesnbits.tk or Call / Contact MS Support at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=sz;en-us;top My advice is donated "AS IS" without warranty; nor do I confer any rights. _________________________________________________________
