Firstly, ALL CAPS IS YELLING. YOU DONT MEAN TO YELL AT US RIGHT?

Yes the sidewinder 2 is compatible with windows 7 64bit. No additional drivers needed, just plug and go. I hope that helps! If so, please mark best answer thanks!

Hi, CompTIA!

I used a Sidewinder 2 Precision Pro on XP but the Windows 7 Pro OEM doesn´t detect the joystick plugged in the USB ports and the OS doesn´t run the instalation software popping up this advise: "The version of this file is not compatible with the Windows in execution. Search the computer information system in order to verify if you need a x86(32 bits) or a x64(64 bits) version of the software e make contact with its publisher."

The Microsoft Compatibility Center state that it is compatible, also you.

Please, would you help me understand why mine doesn´t install?

Thank you so much in advance for your attention and help.

Salute!
