First part: you can instal win 98 or 2000 and upgrade it to win XP. There are 2 (two) ways of solving the problem: 1.
There's got to be a way! I can't give up that easily! If you need any pictures let me know.Many friends use the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Whell on XP (any type of XP or XP service pack) and it runs with no problems. Nice and clean and the movements don't stick or anything. I honestly don't believe this guy used the gamepads in a long time, since the games he was selling with it were old and he did not seem to be a gamer anymore plus the controllers look like they're in good condition. However, I had a friend try to help me with this situation before posting here and he found a good link for a driver, but once the menu starts up it says you need to instal directx 5.2 first and when you click next it tells me the directx install failed as well.I just have no idea what to do! Also, still showing up in my device manager as "unknown" and from what I've seen online I can try to set it to HID-compliant game controller, yet when I look for that on my comp it doesn't show up. As far as the CD goes, even in compatibility mode the CD does not work. the port would show up in my device manager, however through the game port there was nothing plugged into it so.I felt that was a lost cause as well. I've also tried using the game port on a newer video card which did install properly on Win 7, yet the game port did not work properly. Though it seems in good condition along with the joystick I got too, which I haven't tried yet on my PC, but it's the same connector to adapter. I should have done some more research before hand. I thought since it's fairly easy to get older games working on Windows I'd be able to figure out how to get this wheel working. I can find a part number and registration number (x03-65738) and reg (8969744-00000), but the model is FFW1 so it probably too outdated.
