Default Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems


Hi Guys

I too have problems running under Windows 7 x64, I can load the driver
OK and it all works but if I reboot the PC I get a runtime error 5. From
there I can reload the driver again and off I go.

Is there a way to not assign buttons and have the relevant backlight not
illuminated ??

I wonder how many other SWC Users are left handed, probably the sort of
thing to run a poll on...

Thanks heaps for creating the driver to keep these alive under the new
OS`s

Cheers

Craig

Hi again,

has really noone a solution for this problem?:

Does it still work?


Ok, I have a solution for getting it to work in Vista Home Premium 64bit
(including the lights!)


- I plugged in the device and it said installed but didn't do anything
- when I checked the device manager I had one device not recognised. I
right clicked and selected update drivers
- then selected look on internet for recommended driver.
- Weirdly, it found a driver and installed it. the driver is *ATK0110
ACPI Utility* that was installed and it now shows in the System
Devices.
- I then installed the bodyprint software
http://www.bodyphatt.com/cold-incisi...cSetupv1.3.exe
- Worked and installed like a charm
All the lights work too
