I have had a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 for about a year now but now when i plug it in, the computer says nothing is connected. Angry

But when i use the steering wheel, it works fine. I would buy a new joystick, but i don't have enough money and my parents won't buy it for me. Has this happened to anybody else? ???

Does the Stick come with a Software CD?

Do you have a some thing plugged into gameport? Check the control panel under game controllers to see if its 'connected'.

Yes it does have a cd and I tried reinstalling it but it does the same thing, and i added to the list before, then tried again. Thats what i mean, it doesn't say anything is connected. I think it might have to do with the cord.

Check along the cord/cable to see if there are any cuts on it... also check that there isn't any dirt in the USB/serial connector for the stick. Also check the back of the case where the joystick plugs in.

Hope this helps

Be careful of chairs with wheels. I've ruined two cables by running over them and there isn't a mark on the cable. The wires just get crushed.

They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.
