It is also possible that *something* in the procedures followed till now has "botched" *somehing* in the Registry (or *wherever else* ) and maybe it is needed to re-start from scratch.

NUSB is a great little package, but it has some quirks AFAICT, i.e. it is possible that while fixing part of the original issue it created a new one. :unsure:

 

Cannot really say if of any use, but this is the last snapshot I could find of the original sidewinder support page:

It is possible that *anything* in updates like:

can be useful (or make things worse :().

 

You can also try to "ditch" (as an experiment) your current software/drivers and try with these:

3.02 version:

4.0 version:

I had previously tried installing the VIA patch but it didn't solve the problem.

 

And I currently use the 4.0 version of the software/drivers (it's the one on the setup CD).
