Hey Guys . . .I got a Sidewinder Pro gamepad and if I goto the Control Panel>Game Controlers> I can see the Sidewinder Pro and it tests out OK, I can test all of the buttons and calibrate the joystick everything works OK . . .but when I start a game ( like BorderZone, NFS5, . . ) the joystick part works great, but the buttons are dead . . .I think that it is because I do not have the key mapping software installed and all that I can find is 3.02. People have posted that v4.0 will install after a warning on Win2k but I cannot find the software . . .can anyone help?

"I had to install the Sidewinder Game Controller Software 4.0 that came with my Game Pad Pro to get it working. Just ignore the warning that the software has only been tested with Win98. "
 
Please help . .I can not find Sidewinder game software anywhere . . . . My CD does nothing at all . . . version 3.2 just says that it can not install on 2k
 
I have only a couple more days to take this back . . . .I'll deal with the shut down problem if it comes . . .
