re: Sidewinder GamePad non-USB isn't recognised in WinXP Sunday, November 18, 2001 at 2:00 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Michelle (417 messages posted) Do you mean there is nothing listed to add in Game controllers? I'm assuming you were following this article : http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q298/0/62.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=tech&FR=0&qry=sidewinder&rnk=2&src=DHCS_MSPSS_tech_SRCH&SPR=WINXP If you had the game controller plugged in when you upgraded, it may cause the OS to not recognize it now. Microsoft recommends unplugging all peripheral hardware before upgrading\installing.
