I have a MS Sidewinder game pad and am trying to use it
on an XP machine but there are NO XP drivers?

Anyone from MS care to comment on why you don't support
your own products.

Last time I buy MS hardware!

You have an OLD MS Sidewinder that isn't supported. Ford
doesn't supply parts for the Model T anymore either. BTW, I
have no relationship with MS except as a customer.

How old is that GamePad? No hardware manufacturer supports its
products forever; it's just not practical.

You might consider a Windows 2000 driver if one is available. Often those
will work in a Windows XP environment.

Drivers are already built into windows XP.

Goto the Game Controller Control Panel
Then Add, Microsoft Sidewinder (auto-detect)...
