Joystick Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 no load or not remains loaded.
I have the Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick.
I am running Windows 7 (64-bit).
The joystick is fine on Windows XP Home Edition. But, since the purchase of a new computer with Windows 7, the la manette controller game does not load half the time. When this happens, it stops during the Flight Simulator I followed all the steps you gave to another Member here who had problems with installing it and my problem persists.
The manual says that if I meet this problem, I should: let the USB plug into the port, turn off the computer, put the USB plug into a different port, restart the computer. I do this and the joystick is fine in the case of game controllers, but, during a robbery of the SIM joystick suddenly stops working, (i.e. no entrance to the plane of sim) and does NOT appear in the game controllers folder. (Microsoft Sidewinder Central/Control Panel)
What should I do now?
Thank you

Ironically, I dragged my old 2 precision last night to see if it worked in Win7-64.
Initially, he did not work at all. As it was long out of warranty, I opened it, gave the printed circuit, a brush to remove chips and checked the different connections. Reconnected to a hub external (just in case), and Win7 he picked up a fine. There are screws under each of the feet, which has just taken off.
The intermittent problem that you described, it could be a similar problem. The ' stick is pretty bulletproof, but not completely free from dust and dirt penetration.

Are there drivers Windows 7 for a Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro and how to work?
I have a MS SideWinder Precision Pro. I looked at the Windows 7 Compatibility Center and he said compatible. There is no link to a download of driver. On the internet, someone said Windows 7/Vista can no longer bear 'game ports' and you need a game-> USB adapter port. I don't have this kind of adapter. I also read that a USB adapter would not work because who only works with analog game controllers. Is this true?
So I need one of these adapters? And where can I get the drivers for this gamepad win7?
Hello
USB adapter only works with analog game controllers, so that he's not helping.
There is no driver Win7 scheduled this joystick. You can try to install the drivers in xp compatibility mode xp. Read this:

Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Racing Wheel - Vista and Win7 compatibility
I just bought a good condition Sidewinder Precision Racing Wheel from eBay. I didn't know he was as old as it is and I wanted to know if drivers exist that will offer all the features for the wheel. I saw messages in various forums of 2007 saying that no driver is for Vista which will offer all the features. Posts here I have a problem with the default Vista driver who has the throttle to 100% all the time - is not ideal.
Having just bought a Dell computer with a free upgrade to Win7, I just saw this
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Microsoft%20SideWinder%20Force%20Feedback%20Wheel%20Game%20Controller&v=Microsoft&uid=A16-00041&pf=0&pi=9&c=Mice%2C%20Keyboards%20%26%20Input%20Devices&sc=Game%20Controllers&os=32-bit
say that this material is taken in charge, but when you follow the link to the software in is not what needs to be downloaded. It say that it is supported under Win7 makes me hope that driver for Vista situation has been resolved, but I see no mention of those on the web.Anyone can shed some light on this?

driving Microsoft sidewinder precision, pedals dosnt work, need help
Hi everyone, look at the steering wheel works well and the buttons too, the only problem are the pedals, dosnt work and I was trying to calibrate and nothing happens. Please, I hope someone answer me. Im trying to use the pedals and the steering wheel with a game called need for speed \u200b\u200bUnderground 2.
And for Paul Gomez.
Some games do not allow you use the pedals. You must use the paddle shift keys or those on the front. If your pedals do not work the sound most likely a wire damaged since the wheel on the pedals. But maybe you can fix it with a replacement phone cord? Good luck! -

How to install the Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad on a Windows 7 computer?
Need help to install a joystick microsoft sidewinder on my computer with a Windows 7 operating system. I have a gamepad adapter to connect via USB. Can you please help me with this.
Hi Bhottinger,
Microsoft has dropped support for this product. As such there is no driver available for this product.
However, according to the Compatibility Center Windows 7, Microsoft Sidewinder joystick is compatible with Windows 7. You can see the report here.
Therefore, using control of pilot integrated Windows if you manage to get the device works. If you have the old drivers CD, you can try changing the compatibility of the driver settings to make it work.
Method 1:
Usually, Windows will find and automatically install the necessary drivers when you plug your game controller into your computer.
(a) connect the joystick to the USB port via the adapter.
(b) see if it is detected.
(c) Windows should recognize the new hardware and set in place to work properly.
Method 2:
Install the old driver that comes with the product by changing its compatibility settings.
Reference:
Make older programs in this version of Windows

After the installation, check if the device works.
