INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to configure your Microsoft SideWinder game controller in Activision Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.

 * 3) On the Settings tab, click Calibrate, and then click Next.
 * 4) Follow the steps that appear on the screen to complete the Device Calibration Wizard.
 * 5) On the Settings tab, test the axes and the buttons on your game controller to make sure that they function correctly, and then click OK.

 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, and then click TPHS 3 Configuration Utility.

 * 3) Under Profile, click New.
 * 4) Under Axis Configuration, click Assign, and then follow the instructions that appear under Configure to calibrate your game controller.
