 * 2) When you receive the error message described in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section of this article, insert the Sidewinder CD-ROM (that came with the device) into your computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
 * 3) Click browse, and then browse to the root folder of the Sidewinder CD-ROM (where the Stubset.exe setup file is located). Press ENTER.
