help has anyone sorted the problem with the microsoft sidewinder persision joystick in the sound card game port .It has no problem installing in xp professional under game pads has it finds sidewinder automatically ,but cant callibrate due to the message that it is not found or istalled properly.cant find new drivers for it has they only do 95 98 .looked on microsoft site and they say some sound cards are uncompatable with xp and the sidewinder.If anyone has any other ideas i would be greatfull
 
what sound card and version of drive you using? I am using a Creative 5.1 and have no problems with my joystick connected to it..
 
its not my machine but my dads he is using a msi motherboard with onboard sound, it worked ok in 98 ,but have been looking on mircosoft site and they say they dont support the sidewinder persison 1 joystick
 
ahhhh, yeah that would do it.. since it's onboard sound you are limited to what the MB mfg supports.. can you use the USB adapter instead? or is his version of 98 pre-USB?
 
yes he has usb ports but how much do the serial to usb converters cost ,plus are they reliable and where would i get one
thanks

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
