You have to install the current 3DxWare, but you have to install the OLD SW drivers. I went through this at my last job. To tell you the truth, just buy a new one. I spent hours upon hours fighting with the 4K and the computer and it's not worth the wasted man-hours.

SW2008 Office Pro SP3.1
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
2.2GHz, 2.00GB RAM
QuadroFX 3700
SpacePilot/SpaceNavigator

I spent quite a few hours trying this as well.
The only solution I know of - Spaceball 5000 USB. with driver 3.6.6
There is no way 64-bit would take 4000FLX. At least I couldn't find it...
If you want to go back to 32-bit machine and use your 4000FLX with SW2008 you need to install 3DxWare 2.8.2 and Swx add-on from 3DSoftware 3.6.4
Hope it helps.
