Hi I have upgraded to win2k pro on my system and now my
force feedback2 joystick will not work . Control panel
gaming options see's it as ok but I have no funtions when
I test it and the software won,t load on 2k . Please tell
me I,m not out $100 for more hardware here
 
This is not my area of expertise, but according to Knowledge Base article
277713 SideWinder Force Feedback 2: Minimum System Requirements
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=277713), you should be able to use your
joystick on Windows 2000. If possible, uninstall the current Sidewinder
software you have installed, and then install it again, making sure it
installs files compatible with Windows 2000. You can get the latest
Sidewinder software from
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/sidewinder/Downloads.asp including a patch
that will apply to some systems that use a VIA chipset.
