no throttle on sidewinder 3d pro

im runnning windows xp with a sidewinder 3d pro via usb-game port adapter (using notebook computer without gameport) however i cant seem to get the throttle to work propperly. open to all ideas

My friend i think we gave you our ideas to some other posts you made about this problem.

Anyway a short resume is:

1.Unistall your joystick.
2.Shut down your system.
3.Unplug it and plug it again.
4.Let the windows New Device wizard find your new hardware.
5.Install it.
6.Calibrate from your control panel and-or from your FS calibration option.

ahhh yes i remember. lost the link to the programme any way u could post that again? cheers

Which program? This? http://www.drivercleaner.net/

Be careful with this program.Choose the right device in your system.A wrong choice can cause you problems.

Here are some of the links we are talking about your joystick problem
