I am currently running Windows XP and have a SideWinder
3D Pro Joystick which I would like to use. There does
does not appear to be a driver available for Windows XP.
HELP - what do I do throw the Joystick away - HELP
 
Hi Tom,

Have you tried these steps? ...
XP uses built-in drivers and ingame settings instead of profile/software:

To install your controller in XP: 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.
