FS2004 and WinXP with Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick: can't control

[Apa]

Have anybody else experienced this? I cannot do anything right with that
joystick. I tried turning off the force feedback feature, all kinds of
different settings, to no avail.

It just jumps right in it whenever I touch it - I can't even do a taxi not
to mention a take-off with it! really frustrating! (I have WinXP Pro, and
read some articles about incompatibility with the joystick.) Any solutions?

TIA!

I have the same exact setup - win xp pro and MS force feedback. I have no
problems with it.
