Microsoft sideWinder force feedback 2 game controllers driver for Windows 8

Original title: Joystick Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 8 victory Flight

I have recently upgraded to windows 8 and now need drivers for my MS sidewinder force joystick feedback 2 use my FSX flight sim. Anyone know where to find the drivers?

I recently bought Microsoft Flight Sim X on stream. I've performed under a victory 8.1 HP laptop. I am lucky to have a Microsoft sidewinder force joystick feedback 2 which was a purchase of second hand many years ago.

When I connect it via USB the software automatically recognized and installed the driver suitable for the start and reports in devices like a sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick.

Initially using the properties and the calibration does not register any input the joystick game, but as the result of a reboot or run the program MS Flight Sim X everything works perfectly.

Calibration running confirms all the buttons and wheel and look at a hat all them light up and work 100%!

For reference, I am on windows 8.1 and have the auto update on.

So in summary, you should find that you need not track down the drivers and plug and play works, simply because of my experience.

Happy flying!

  • Loading of joystick Sidewinder FORCE Feedback 2 on VISTA

    I have a new computer with Vista and got close to loading Microsoft Sidewinder FORCE Feedback 2 disc to use with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and have problems loading.
    The run.exex crosses all the guests, is the copy program and then copy the profile.  At this point, I get a warning box "Are you sure you want to exit the installation of Sidewinder Forcefeedback 2" with the Yes or no boxes.  If I click No this just SID and does nothing.  Click Yes, and naturally it closes.
    I expect to see a message from LOADING software will then ask to connect the gamepad and proceed to step 2, which is testing.

  • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series (Microsoft Corporation WDDM 1.1) driver for Windows 7?

    Hello world. I recently upgraded my Lenovo ThinkPad T400 Vista Enterprise OS to Windows 7 Enterprise (32 bit). Everything seemed to work fine except one thing - the graphics.

    Some games like the Sims 3 and Left 4 Dead can be played, but they were choppier before the upgrade. Left 4 Dead 2 could not be played at all. Only, he launched and disappeared. I already made sure I use my laptop on the 'Best Performance', as usual before the upgrade.

    Then, I realized something. Graph of my laptop was running:

    Mobile Intel(r) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)

    I couldn't find any possibility to my ATI graphics card pre-loaded, I could do before. Then I ran the Device Manager and discovered that my "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series (Microsoft Corporation WDDM 1.1)" have the status of: "this device cannot start. (Code 10) ». I tried to update the driver by means of the function "update driver... "in Manager devices but according to Windows, I already had the latest version of the driver software.

    I went to Lenovo support site to look for the latest driver for the graphics card, and they have none for Windows 7. I searched the net, but nothing helped. Is - it still be released? If so, roughly when? I hope that it won't take long, or else my video card will be wasted. Thank you.

    I am running Windows 7 Enterprise, I can't use Windows Update since it is controlled by WSUS. In any case, after hours of discussion with COMPUTER experts at my place of work, none of them could solve the problem. They even said I can never run my video card once again, because it is not compatible with Windows 7.

    But I won't give up.

    After hours to find a solution, I decided to download and try the "ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver for Windows 7 - ThinkPad R400, T400, T500, W500" and guess what? It worked! Catalyst centre was also installed. Who knew it was the switchable graphics driver when the ATI card was the only one shown in Device Manager for not working.

    Here is the link:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73641

    I hope this works for all of you who have had the same problems as me. See you soon!

  • Need graphic driver for windows 8.1

    Hi all

    I have:

    HP pavilion dv6 7010tx

    Windows 8 pro 64-bit

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I found the update to windows 8.1 pro by Windows store, so I downloaded it but not able to install it due to the limitation of graphics drivers [I get the CODE of ERROR 0XC1900101-40019]

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I tried all of these methods:

    * Clean install of windows 8 pro 64-bit

    * only install the update that shows the Windows store 8.1 update

    * Keep my NVidia driver update which is 332.21-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql. It is 64-bit capable of windows 8 and 8.1 64 bit.

    * updated day to day my driver intel graphics is Intel (r) graphics 4000 v10.18.10.3379 HD

    * check the latest updates for my model of hp driver download wesite [it doesnot provide me with graphics driver for windows 8.1]

    * Graphics drivers from intel directly [ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23323 ] windows 8.1 which is by train

    V15.33.5.64.3316 [doesnot allow installation limitations requirements]

    * A tried to upgrade to 8.1 windows 8 times intant (8x3.6 GB )

    * Called Microsoft technical support [I was told that my model does not support windows 8.1] I think he was referring to the lack of drivers.

    * Called hp support [he said no available driver CURRENTLY] not clear if she can come out in the future or not.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So help me with this problem. Give me the drivers for intel graphics hd for windows 8.1 or other solution for the above error.

    Nevermind, I found the solution... It applies to these two errors 40019-0xc1900101 and 0xc1900101-4000 D (something like that)
    I installed all the updates from Microsoft, including graphics drivers... then, went to the Manager of devices and uninstalled (and deleted) two display drivers and has not yet manually installed all the drivers... you hear just the default for both drivers.
    It worked for me...
    We hope someone also find it useful.
