I have a person who just purchased a new computer with xp
and has a sidewinder procision pro not pro 2 that she
was using on 98. It will not allow her to load the
software on the xp machine. Is there a update for this
game joystick for xp?
 
Doesn't need the v3.02 software which won't install on XP.

Connect joystick to PC, go to the Control Panel, click on Game Controllers
and use the AutoDetect feature. XP will install its built in drivers.

Hi Jerry,

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.
