Default 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
