sidewinder joystick problem..

I posted here http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?t=74647 but no response so I thought I would try here.

Ive been trying to get the sidewinder joystick working no luck so....

I went and bought a Logitech joystick, reinstalled windows (xp), updated everything, and still nothing.

First off to play any games I have to replace dinput8.dll with an older version otherwise the games wont launch. (always done this just thought I would mention it)

I go to launch the game (with joystick attached) and some times it gets to the menu of the game but then it flashes a blank screen once or twice like it's gonna die and then it crashes to the fricken desktop with an error thing, I click on details and its that damn dinput8.dll !!!!

Someone please help I just want to play MX vs ATV Unleashed
