I resurrected an old Pentium 4 based PC with Windows XP on recently and have been trying to get a spare Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 USB joystick to work. The problem is that Windows XP (SP2) just doesn’t detect it, and it is not listed in the control panel game controllers utility so I can't add it manually. I have had it working on my Windows 7 based laptop so I know it works. I dug out the driver CD and found it was for Windows 98. As for the PC, it discovered and worked fine when I plugged in my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 USB joystick in. Does anyone have any ideas as there seems to be no information or support for the joystick on the Microsoft site?
