I have seen several posts about old joysticks and such not working with Windows XP. XP users with old drivers/devices should click on Start - Programs - Accessories - and use the Compatibility Wizard. The Compatibility Wizard can emulate Win95, WinNT and other older versions of the Windows operating system. Give it a try. I hope this helps

👍 Good point that can be one solution. Clap

I found that my Sidewinder Precision USB was the last produced but it still works without any problems in XP.
They can still be bought.
