Hello.
I have an excruciating problem with my Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle Pro that goes on for years...
The idiots from Silicon Valley discontinued the support of the product and the software it has (the gamepad can be easily installed) does NOT work on Win XP
That said I can't personalize the pad to any function or game I want assigning different action to all the buttons. And I REALLY want to do that, since I was able to use it for any kind of game or function that way!!!!!!
I've been told there is a version of the game controller software that works OK on XP - version 4 - but I can't find it anywhere. The closest I got was finding the said version for a diferent Sidewinder product.
If anyone knows where I can find a version of the Controller device software that works, someway, on Windows XP OR a similar program that is FULLY compatible with my gamepad (Freestyle Pro) PLEASE let me know!
Thank you:
