    i just bought a new machine with windows 7 pro, 64-bit.  i can't get my sidewinder 3d pro to work although microsoft says it's compatible.  i've looked for drivers all over the place.  when i try device manager, it tells me no drivers are installed for my unknown usb device.  i'm using a usb cable to convert the joystick.  when i try to update, it tells me i already have the best driver installed for my unkown device.

    can you help?

    i have the same problem with my sidewinder game pad.

    It should be plug and play with the drivers included with Windows 7.

    However, are you getting any errors when installing? Drivers not loaded, device not recognized, etc?
