NHL07-Microsoft sidewinder gamepad problem help please

[grimskunk]

Hi,

I have a Microsoft sidewinder USB gamepad. It is fully recognized by windows and also in nhl07. The problem is, each time I try to save my personnalised buttons settings in the controller panel. I am unable to save them!!So when I get back to the panel (right after) or If I start a game ; it doesnt keep my settings!! So It is impossible to play, because there's even buttons missing in the default settings (no pass button assigned!!)

Does anybody know how to fix that problem??? Any help would be appreciated...

By the way, I never had such problem with NHL06...

Thanks!
