l have up graded from Windows 98 to XP Windows and my
SindeWinder 3d Pro Plus won't work ..... Help Required
 
Any gameport/joystick port gaming device will have to use the standard XP
supplied drivers. Microsoft will not provide the enhanced drivers since
they are discontinuing the gameports.

Also, I read, in some magazine, that Microsoft is discontinuing ALL their
gaming hardware product lines.

You can get basic functionality for this device because the drivers are
already in Windows XP, but the software for mapping keyboard buttons to
controller buttons isn't available. To use the device do the following:
1. Connect the device to the gameport
2. Start -> Run -> Control Panel
3. Switch to "Classic View".
4. Run the Gaming Options control
5. In Gaming Options Click the "Add..." button.
6. From the list choose "Microsoft SideWinder (Auto Detect)"
7. This should install your device.
