sidewinder and xp
I have a new Dell 8400. I have a Microsoft Force Feedback Joystick and when I try to add it under gamepads it only has a Microsoft Sidewinder. It says not connected when it is. I have a converter connected to it so it will have a USB end. I also have a Microsoft Sidewinder game pad. That worked right off the bat. What can I do about the ForceFeedback joystick? PLMK Thanks

Steerstuffer,
When I got my new dell it did not come with a game port, my old force feedback (first gen) only had that connector. So I ordered a "converter" off of ebay, it didn't work. I talked to a friend that runs a computer store and the first thing he said when I mentioned the converter is "those don't work", lol. I ended up just giving him the converter box and the joystick. You might want to investigate getting a pci card with a game port on it, or look at the Logitech force feedback that Amazon.com sells.
HTH
