USB Gamepad Problems

Hello, I have recently purchased a Saitek p220 (no drivers available) generic game pad with axis and six buttons. it is usb. the problem I have is that when I go to calibrate it, the axis refuses to center. It always goes off to the top left. Even after I calibrate it and it says its successfully calibrated when I double check by calibrating it again, it pulls top-left again. This is also evident because in games such as nhl 2005, when on the menu screen, the controller is constantly moving through menu options without stopping.
