Driver for Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick
I have misplaced my cd for this joystick and cannot find Microsoft drivers
for it anywhere. Can someone please direct me where to go on the Internet to get full drivers for this joystick. |

Just go to the website of the manufacturer otherwise you can probably get the drivers from www.driverguide.com though the site is sort of a PITA to navigate I often enough use it as I can usually find just about anything I need. You need to register but it's free. If you don't register, I think you can still get the drivers but you have to view advertisements... That's why I advise going directly to the mfg if at all possible |

Driver for Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick
Microsoft is the manufacturer and I cannot find a download at their site for
it. I have been able to get the download for the Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick from driverguide but it was not a full fledged driver and works okay but does not have all the options. I can buy the same Joystick again through Ebay but that seems pointless since I just need the cd or at least the drivers from the cd to get the Joystick working properly. Anyway, I have already contacted Microsoft and they cannot help me. "philo" wrote: "Dan" wrote in message ...

Yeah, that was the one I tried Philo and it has partial functionality. That
site certainly had me go through a lot of advertisements to get the driver. "philo" wrote: BTW: Did you try this one... supposedly it's has full functionability http://members.driverguide.com/drive...riverid=128223 |

Driver for Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick
Well, it is an older version but it might work and it is not exactly right.
Rats, I may be stuck purchasing another joystick just to get the drivers on the cd. Well, Ebay seems to have some of these used joysticks for not too much money and that may be my best bet but please let me know if you have any more ideas. Thanks so much for all the suggestions so far philo and John. "John Dulak" wrote: Dan wrote: Microsoft is the manufacturer and I cannot find a download at their site for it.

If you buy another joystick you will find the drivers for sure. BTW: if you have a gmail account (or any account "on line") you can email the drivers to yourself (zip them first) and they will be there if you need them again |

Good point about emailing the drivers to yourself in the future especially
since on-line email accounts allow you to have so much space these days. I will certainly take your advice, philo. Thanks again. :-) "philo" wrote: "Dan" wrote in message ...
