Sidewinder Gamepad Issues

I am running on Windows ME and my Sidewinder Gamepad is not detected properly. The calibration dot is constantly in the upper left, and cannot be re-adjusted. I have yet to find a patch or driver that solves this problem. It works fine on my old Windows 95 computer. Responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have a Soundblaster Live. Do you need additional info about the card? If so, how do I go about getting that info? Thanks for the response.

Some Game Controllers do not work at all with Creative Sound Cards. I had a similar problem, and according to their technical support, they said it would never work because of the Creative Sound Card.
