    Here is one site that might help: http://xpadder.com/

    I never have much luck getting gamepads to work the way I want them to, but there is software available that will configure the gamepad you are using for the game you are playing, the one above is just one of those options.

    Not all games will recognize controllers. Also, if you're in the market for another controller, get an Xbox 360 controller for Windows.
