I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick that I would liek to use with my Windows 7 PC, but I need some kind of adapter that will allow me to use USB instead of the gameport adapter that the joystick has. Where can I buy something like this? What are some experiences you have with this or other joysticks using adapters for modern games like Battlefield etc. | |||

First, according to the Windows 7 Compatibility pages, that joystick will work in Windows 7 without additional drivers. Additionally, you can get Game Port to USB adapters. A company named Logilink makes one (I'm sure there are others as well).
You could also get yourself a cheap Windows 7 compatible sound card that contains a game port.

don't bother.... buy a new gamepad/joystick. Windows 7 does not support this device and there is no type of driver for them. It sucks but you will save a lot of stress, time, and a little money by just buying a new gamebad. | |||
