There are two x sensor holes in the grip , one top one bottom, they control the force feed back gimbals in the base you need from time to time make sure they are clear just spray them with some alcohol base solution and give them i light probe with a tooth pick to make sure there is no gunk blocking up the holes .
Good luck.

I picked up a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick at a thrift store. I was having the same problem getting the joystick working on XP Pro. XP wasn't seeing the joystick. On a wim I tryed the Sidewinder on my Dell laptop (OS 98se) and it worked fine. I then pluged it back into the desktop sys (OS XP Pro). Now the Sidewinder works 100% fine. I just used the joystick with MicroSoft Flight Simulator 2004 A Century of Flight. All controls and buttons are working fine. I also delibertely bunny hoped the plane on landing, crashed the plane and ran the plane into a building to test the force feedback on the yoke. The feedback is fine also.

O-the sweet feel of a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback lets see if I can be of some help. there could be any number of things going on but I'm going to give this a try. have you checked the settings in Flight Simulator 2004 seems to me that I remember a check box that said disable force feedback make sure that is unchecked. also in the settings for your controller there is a box that says enable force feedback make sure that is checked. then make sure if you are using a firewall like zone alarm you are in gaming mode because this used to give me major headaches with my system to the point I had to detach from the internet and shut down my firewall to play my games. if this doesn't work you may have to reinstall the drivers for the sidewinder this is the last easy option and it should repair any broke links and reset itself into your system. Please let me know how this helped if you need more Ideas just contact me.
