I had this controller( SideWinder Freestyle Pro ) laying around for a while. Since I upgraded to WinXP I haven't tried to install it till now.. Does anyone know if there are drivers for this available for XP?? I cant find them anywhere..:( you would figure seeing its made by Microsoft they would make a upgraded driver for it..:rolleyes:

All I had to do to install my sidewinder was go into the control panel (using classic look), click on "Game controllers" hit add and add it nothing else and it works perfect.

It wont work if you try to add it threw the add new hardware button.
