hi
i just bought this saitek P880 controller and i can't even intall it.
It says" An error ocurred during the installation of the device:
The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary entry.
This may be because the INF was written for Windows 95 or later"

Can anybody help me with this problem?
thanks.
 
Hi,

If it's a recent model, it should have an installation CD
with Windows XP compatible drivers. Install the CD
software first, and then connect the gamepad. :-)

Hi 302project,

Does the packaging / CD indicate that it's for Windows XP?
I hope you didn't get an older version of their software. :-(
