IntelliPoint

IntelliPoint allows you to set up your Microsoft mouse hardware, from setting the basic double-click speed to defining the behaviour of an IntelliMouse's wheel. Version 3.0 introduced the ability to program each of the mouse buttons independently, and support for all of the Microsoft mouse devices. Version 4.01 introduced the ability to set up individual button assignments for different applications.

SideWinder Game Controller Software

Microsoft have been a bit slack labelling their SideWinder Game Controller Software CDs - they all read 'version 3.0' when in fact they're a variety of 3.00, 3.01 and 3.02. Check the volume label of the CD in Windows Explorer when the CD is in your drive to be sure - it'll usually read SW301..., SW302... or similar. In case your CD isn't up to date, here's a link to Microsoft's download of 3.02.

One quick note - the 3.02 that you get on the CD is later than the one you download ... don't you just love quality version control ?

Another quick note - if you're using the USB version of the Force Feedback Wheel, then you'll be running version 4.0 of the SideWinder Game Controller Software; don't overwrite this with version 3.02. In fact, 3.02 and 4.0 work alongside each other, to ensure USB and pre-USB controllers can both be supported at the same time. It's also worth mentioning that Windows XP doesn't support game controllers connected via a game port.
