Assistance needed to get stick working again

Okay, while attempting to install a sound card on my old computer, I spilt my drink I had stupidly left on my desk and it flew into my computer.

Ouch. Anyway, I've finally gotten a new computer, but the thing is, I can't find Win XP drivers for my stick. I remember the process being something of a hassle (strange considering it the forcefeedback 2 is a MS product,) but the sooner I start...

Can someone point me in the right direction?

The only thing left to do is send the FF2 to me. I'll send you my precision 2 and you'll be all set.

It won't work with XP. MS no longer makes sticks and there is no support for it in XP.

This person seems to have figured out a way. You'll have to join that site to download or get it from someone else. No guarantees, hope that helps.

Of course, you could always go to our front page and click on the good deal for a Saitek X52.

Thanks for the help Jump.


I tried the X45, but because of my limited space and poor vision I need to be considerably closer to the screen than I could get if I had to use a separate throttle.

Besides, I'm a converted console gamer, it took forever to get used to the idea of a control scheme that consisted of more than one device (mouse + keyboard) adding a third in...

That's what duct tape is for bud. My X45 is one unit.

That second one worked like a charm. The bottom button on my POV hat doesn't work anymore, but I won't let that get me down.

Thanks dude.
