Sidewinder in WC4 DVD?

Can an MS Sidewinder 3D Pro be used successfully with WC4 DVD in Windows XP? It always seems to be disabled as soon as I enter into the program. And if I use the "6 button with throttle and POV" profile in Windows, the speed is never consistent (I think maybe the throttle is fluctuating). Should I just try a joystick profile with no throttle and use the old "hold 2nd button and push forward or backward" for acceleration method?
