jaclaz Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 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. Cannot really say if of any use, but this is the last snapshot I could find of the original sidewinder support page:https://web.archive.org/web/20021206043749/http://www.microsoft.com/products/hardware/sidewinder/downloads/default.asp#Ffb2 It is possible that *anything* in updates like:https://web.archive.org/web/20021201101733/http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/sidewinder/SWUpdate/ff2/FF2Download.asp 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:https://web.archive.org/web/20021001085752/http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/sidewinder/downloads/302.asp4.0 version:http://grva.lamce.coppe.ufrj.br/hardware/hw_drivers/swff2/ jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konuvis Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm going to try what you guys suggested but if it doesn't work I'd be totally willing to do a completely fresh install and go step by step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I currently use the 4.0 version of the software/drivers (it's the one on the setup CD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konuvis Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I was looking at this video today and somehow was wondering if maybe my joystick issue was due to a similar thing. http://youtu.be/AsSDXznIhGc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
