I have always had trouble with my various computer controllers. What seems to happen to them within a few months is that the control sticks suddenly become completely messed up. And I don't mean it gradually gets more messed up, I mean I'm playing it and it suddenly starts acting funny. After that, the only way to get it to work properly again is to reformat my computer.
I figure that because reformatting helps, this must be a software problem. Is there any way to completely remove information about my controller off of the computer so that I can reinsert the thing and it will detect it as a new device? I think this would fix the problem.
The controller is designed to use the generic drivers that comes with XP and that's what I'm doing.
