Chacal 0 Posted April 22, 2003 First of all, this is my first time posting here so I donno if my problems have been posted b4. Second, english is not my first language, pls dont laught (there isn't third) I know many ppl that "dual boot" their computers just to have their SideWinder Controler Software working. Is there any way to make theese softwares work under WinXP or 2k? Or maybe another 3rd party software... I really LOVE WinXP but I'm with WinME because I need those softwares. If some1 know anything that can solve this problem, pls, heeelp me! Share this post Link to post
thatsteveguy 0 Posted April 23, 2003 Well for myself all I have been able to do is use the microsoft controller auto detect in game controllers for 2K and XP. The software won't install and the auto detect worked okay but I don't know of any way to force the install so if anyone else does please let me know too! S Share this post Link to post
Mr.Guvernment 0 Posted April 23, 2003 the sidewinder Serial controller does not work with XP -with the software MS is only supporting USB devices under Xp - the software that is. no more serial devices software will work - the device will work - u just can not use the software to customize things Share this post Link to post
Chacal 0 Posted April 23, 2003 Well, thanks for your help. I knew those would be the answers. I don't know WHY microsoft do not spend few hours to make thousands of ppl happier. For me, XP isnt the best OS ever just because of this little missanderstanding. (hope its correct ) Share this post Link to post
Mr.Guvernment 0 Posted April 23, 2003 true true - MS could develope software for it - but @ the same time why support something almost 4-5 years old? that would cost them $$$ - yes, they have tons of it - but MS also wants you to buy new products - they can not support old products for ever.
