Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems
Lucas;468885 Wrote: Help me... =\ I tried to do all the steps, but it didn't work here. Windows Ultimate X64, I disabled the UAC, did al the steps, but in the Device Manager, I couldn't find the driver for Strategic Commander, only for other stuff. "Select the device driver that you wish to install for this hardwa" "USB Human Interface Device" and if I uncheck the box: "Show compatible driver" A lot of another drivers will appear, but not Strategic Commander. In my Device Manager, I found +Humand Interface Device |_4: Humand Interface Device USB |_3: HID-compliant consumer control device |_2: HID-compliant device Any help ?? This is all i can get too,and i've tried all three suggestions to the letter(been at it all afternoon) i don't understand why mine wont work and others do? -- Kryten. |

Where all the people who got the SC to work on their Vista running the 32bit version? If so, I'm either going to downgrade to Vista 32bit, or upgrade to Windows XP. The small advantages that Vista provides are SIGNIFICANTLY outweighed by the SC advatages. -- LastSon |

Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems
hmm.. really handy listing, thanks, however I hit upon a snag when following the instructions. When I install the driver it seems to install fine and doesn't ask about exiting the install. Then when I go to the device manager I get the HID devices listed but when I try to install new drivers the Strategic Commander drivers don't come up as an option for either of the HID selections. If i try to start up the software after installing the driver it comes up with the following error: "Critical system files are missing or corrupted" and stops the thing from running. Does your method only work on the 32 bit version of Vista? I am running the 64 bit version. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated. regards, Graeme |

*The drivers will definatly NOT work on any 64bit operating system* Two reasons; - The inf files do not referance 64bit platforms; easily fixed, google around I posted the fix for that - The driver binaries do not run under 64bit platforms; virtually impossible to fix without source code -- derek_bartram |

*I'm NOT using the drivers !!* I'm creating my own engine by reading the HID direct. I already have it working on my system. In fact I'll put up a little demonstration of it's potential probably within 24 hours. Trust me, this *WILL* work. -- BODYPRINT |

When I clicked 'reply' to the alert email that someone had posted a reply, the last message I said was someone asking about people getting the drivers working on x64 systems. I look forward to seeing your drivers (I really hope they work). I'm a c# .NET developer so if you need a configuration utility written let me knowthe interface specification ). -- derek_bartram |

OK, here is a little test version of the engine to see if it's detecting everyones controllers and to test that I have done the setup correctly I think it will work on all versions of windows. Currently all it does is assigns the X and Y axis to WASD keys and the 6 top buttons to the numbers the 1 to 6 keys above the letters (not the numberpad keys). I know it's a bit ugly at the moment. The next stage should make it all better. Please let me know if there are any problems/requests.
