Try replacing dinput.dll witht he dinput.dll from Dx7.0/8.0.
 
Your going to have to delete the dinput.dll in the \winnt\system32\dllcache and the \winnt\system32 directory. Then copy dinput.dll into those 2 directories.

Did you try to unplug your USB FF2 and then reinstall the sofware version 4.0? It will attempt to communicate with Ms USB joystick.
 
Did you go to Control PAnel, Joystick, Add and select the Sidewinder (auto detect) line?
 
As for the 3.02 sofware it is not compatible with Windows 2000 Pro.
