Verizon Telephone Co installed their FOIS 3 system package two weeks ago in my house. All systems work well but I noticed my drivers for Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro are gone. The joystick software is Version 3.0. I've used this joystick for many years without trouble. My computer is running XP and MSFLT 2004 works but without a joystick, it's difficult to operate. My computer tells me to update the driver. I see a Version 3.02 at the Microsoft website but it doesn't download for some reason.
My first question is why won't the software version 3.0 reinstall? It has often in the past without trouble.
Second question, can USB ports become overloaded? I have 4 ports and I'm using 2 ( Netgear and a printer) without the joystick plugged in.
Specs for my computer: AMD 2600+ processor, XP Home OS, 1GB memory, Verizon Wireless internet using Netgear WG111T connected to a USB port
Appreciate any help, Zeroscape.
