3 AnswersGoogle8 years agoMS Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick-drivers?
MS Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick-Windows 7 recognizes it (also Win XP) and says it’s working correctly, but nothing happens. (Win says no driver files required or loaded) does Win saying it’s OK mean much?
[thanks Bob]
Additional Details
I can go through the calibration steps, when I try to select configuration either from the list (Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick)or custom it says "your gameport or gameport driver are not properly configured. please consult device manager" .
Ther are 5 listing-3 for the joystick, they all say working properly including the one for the Precision 2 HID drivers.
Can I deduce from the fact that I can calibrate it that the joystick itself is working correctly?
Seems like that only leaves driver-where is a good source?
1 AnswerAdd-ons9 years agoMS Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick-do I need drivers?
MS Sidewinder Precision 2 Joystick-I heard that windows support these and they are tough, so I found one and plugged it in. Windows 7 recognizes it and says it’s working correctly, but nothing happens. (Win says no driver files required or loaded) Do I need Updated drivers? The joystick is used so there is that too, does Win saying it’s OK mean much?

3 AnswersCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoHID conversions for motorcycles - lens?
Even though I've heard that a different Lens is needed so the light doesn't scatter.
Seems like people must just put in the bulbs and ballast since the lens are all different shapes.
Is this a case of a halogen light Lens being the correct Lens or just all they can get so they go with it? Are there aftermarket lights w/ lenses intended for HID.

4 AnswersCamping1 decade ago90s Escort suspension springs-educate me?
The situation:
I have a 95 Escort wagon that the rear springs have collapsed/broken on.
The wrecking yard has alternately said any 91-96 or any 93-96 spring interchanges-except Escort GT. ALL the wagons in wrecking yard have same problem as mine, so it would be good if there is a stiffer spring that
won't change my ride height.
The Ques: Which year range is correct? Will an Escort GT spring do what I want (have a pair of 91s at wrecking)? Is the spring from a 97 different? stiffer?
Thanx
