Microsoft Sidewinder

I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this question but,
here it is anyway.

I have a MS sidewinder joy stick I would like to install. I have
followed the directions to long on as Administrator but, the set up
program does not recognize the login. Perhaps because it is a win95
series? Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Rick
