No. Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback game controllers (or any other
Sidewinder game controllers, for that matter) do not have drivers for any NT-based systems. -- Gary S.

The drivers are included in XP... go to the Control Panel, click on Game
Controllers and use the AutoDetect feature. The profiling facility that used to exist where you could map buttons to keys for a particular game is no longer supported in XP. It is now done by the game you are using it with. Hope this helps. Martin "Gary S. Terhune" wrote in message ...
