Game Pad Issues

I purchased the Game-Elements GGE909 today to work on my Gateway with Vista Home Premium. I loaded the software that comes with the controller. I assigned the keys that I needed to work. For example I set up up pov for the w key on the key board. I am not getting any response from this device. I have gone to the control pad and looked at game controllers, it is responsive in there. However trying to use it doesn't yield any results. I opened notepad, just to see if it would put w on the screen when I hit the up pov but it didn't. I'm not getting any mouse movement out of it, and the buttons on the controller that I assigned to be the mouse buttons are doing nothing either. I have checked Driver Guide and I didn't see any additional drivers for this controller to work with Vista. Are there additional controllers that I need to get, or is there anything I"m doing wrong? I would love any help.



Thanks in advance
