I have an older MS Force Feedback Pro joystick i want to
use on my new PC for some reason the drivers are not
compatable with WIN XP either from the disc or from the
drivers on MS DL website please post any possible
solutions available Thank You
 
Hi!

Here's the instructions for both the USB and the Gameport models:

The version 4 software for USB Sidewinders is XP compatible.
It gives you a warning, you can click OK and continue installing it.
I've had the same experiences with USB cam's & other devices.

The version 3 software, isn't compatible. It uses XP's drivers instead.
USB devices just plug and play. GamePort devices need some 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.

Will the force feedback work? I've done that and the joystick works but ff
does not.

i have same thing but XP Pro

in the game controlers area of control panel, add device ( microsoft
sidewinder auto detect )

it will automatically detect the FF Pro, and allow you to calabrate it, and
yes the FF effects will still work (fs2004 will dam near break your wrist)
