SYMPTOMS
When you open SideWinder Profile Editor for a SideWinder game device, the green callout lines may appear, but the image of the device in the center may not.

CAUSE
This behavior can occur because of slow screen redrawing rates, caused by either a slower processor or display adapter.

RESOLUTION
Eventually, the device image does appear. When it does, you can begin to program the device.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SideWinder Game Device Software, version 2.0.
