Hi a20driver. You can assign/reassign all key functions from CFS2/Settings. It's also possible to assign the trim to spare buttons on your Sidewinder if you wish. These might be assigned to various functions by default.

I recall a similar problem, my M$ FF stick is a USB, my machine had Sidewinder version 3.1 software installed, the USB stick uses a higher version (4 I think) I'd check to see if you have any different driverr disks for your stick, hope this helps, it sorted me out.... Roll Eyes
