Udo Arz,

My google search on the Internet suggests that the Strategic Commander is
not supported under Vista. Try google to see whether you can find something
different from what I found. Good luck.

Microsoft discontinued support of all gaming devices several years ago (even
before XP was released). I'd connect it and use the drop down menu in the
Control Panel under gaming controllers to see what it manages to find that
might cooperate.
