Sidewinder FF Pro...will it work with Win2K?
I can't find anything in the ole MS KB on whether this thing (or force feedback in general) is supported under Windows2000. I was going to buy one to go along with Starlancer...but not if it won't work with my system.

I'm no expert, but I remember hearing it was not supported and never will be. WinME is the one. -
Win2k has native drivers for all the Sidewinder series. Just plug the joystick, go to control panel -> game controlers -> add -> Microsoft Sidewinder (Auto detect)
At least it works fine with my sidewinder wheel force feedback. And yes, FF works!Comment

Sorry for the misinformation. My badComment

NP Brian. Of course, if the answer really was WinME, I'd keep asking anyway until someone told me it would work under Win2k
