How to install MS Sidewinder Precision Pro Joystick on Win7 computer?

Is it possible to install the controller MS Sidewinder Precision Pro (USB Version) on a computer of Windows7.  It works great on XP and Vista, but I can't install the drivers on a computer with Win7.  I get an error message "not something compatable" and a code 43.  I would really appreciate help here because I love this joystick.  Thank you

Thank you Syed V, sorry for replying late but lost my DSL connection for a few days.  After reading your message I will try each of your suggestions.  I plugged the stick, crankded machine Win7 again and curiously, this time loaded Win7 drivers and the stick works fine.  I have no idea why it worked this time and not the other 5 times I tried.  I tried the normal way, I tried to load the drivers in compatibility mode, as an admin, etc..  Nothing has worked.  At the start I kept getting the message that this device has a known compatibility issue and they gave me the message Code 43.  In Device Manager, he has appeared as an unknown device.  I have nothing worked.

Then today, he loaded the drivers automatically at startup of Win7.  Very strange.

Thanks a lot for the good adivice.  I might have to use the next time on another Win7 machine.
