This article describes how to open a game device profile using the Microsoft SideWinder Game Device software version 2.0.

To Open a Game Device Profile

 * 2) Open the folder in which your game device profile is located (if it is not located in the default folder).

Additional Information
If SideWinder Profile Editor is not active, you can double-click a profile in Windows Explorer or in the SideWinder Profile Activator Profile column. This opens the profile and starts SideWinder Profile Editor.

NOTE: If SideWinder Profile Editor is active and you double-click a profile, SideWinder Profile Editor becomes the active program with the current profile loaded. The profile you double-clicked may not be the loaded profile.
