• 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!

• Compatibility Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike Gaming Controller

  Can someone please tell me if there is progress regarding the compatibility with Windows 7 the Dual Strike and its associated sidewinder software. I had this works well in WindowsXP - even with installed SP3!

  I saw the previous answer to this question that is frankly - unfortunately incorrect. Although the double strike - (being a USB device) - does not install automatically (kind of) in windows 7 - is NOT recognized when the games is open. I can't do THE buttons to assign it to the actions of in the game set up the menu (Dark Void game as a good example) that is to say - it does not work.

  Also - can I install sidewinder in compatibility mode - but that's where it ends. When I try to open sidewinder central to assign keys to buttons - I get a message saying: "there was a problem which may be due to low system resources - close other programs and try again." Then, when I try and close sidewinder - I get another message saying "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working."

  Now obviously a controller programmable games that - a. who don't recognize not games and b. he can't program keys - are kind of redundant isn't.

  I'm afraid to change the compatibility settings, either manually or by using the Troubleshoot utility has absolutely no effect.

  Does anyone have a solution?

  Sincere greetings to you all

  Phil

  Thank you very much for taking the time to answer.

  I looked at all the links above - without success - Similarly, I found a Microsoft soutions Web page that says this game contoller went well with windows 7

  (obviously written by someone who does not even tried to use it).

  The problem is that the Sidewinder game software is not compatible with windows 7 - even in mode of compatibility, and therefore, the buttons cannot be programmed.

  For those who have the same problem - I found a solution using the 3rd party software called Xpadder - available at Xpadder.com

  (or just google Xpadder and you'll find it).

  This allows all the buttons to program, works in Windows 7 and is a good replacement for the sidewinder software.

  But why I'm able to use 3rd party software?

  Is that a shame isn't - that Microsoft can't be bothered to support their own products and we had to spend hours and hours searching for 3rd party solutions.

  I think this has tought me a lesson - and I have to think very carefully before buying a product microsoft again.

• Microsoft Sidewinder X 8 slow motion

  I am a player who owns a Microsoft Sidewinder X 8 gaming mouse and have been a problem.

  It seems that whenever I have hold down a key on my keyboard (without wireless/bluetooth), it seems to move more slowly when im not, I move faster than is necessary or useful for the games. This is especially a problem when stabilize on CoD MW2 sniper rifles.

  It of my keyboard/bluetooth that could have an impact on the transmission of signals, or is my fairly new mouse broken

  Thanks in advance

  You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you shouldbring at least for the keyboard and the mouse, and the bluetooth device and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. You can also try the Driver Verifier Manager to see if you can identify the driver or the responsible device (assuming that it is the cause):http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617.

  If this does not work, try swapping on the mouse to see if you have the same problem with one another that you know works. Do the same for the keyboard. Try one that did not work on another computer, and then see if this computer now feels the problem.  We are trying to determine if the problem is the keyboard, the mouse or the computer.  These tests help us to determine which.

  I hope this helps.

  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.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=hardware&s=SideWinder%20joystick

  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:

  After the installation, check if the device works.

• 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.
