The problem is that Microsoft had stopped the release of new drivers for this gamepad. Oh and yes I have a cracked version of NHL07 but I had a cracked version of NHL06 too and had no problem...

The problem besides the drivers is that Microscrap discontinued the Sidewinder line in 2003 and why werent any more drivers/updates Also if you have a joystick/gamepad that are ones that are digital with digital stick /buttons and not analogue can have problem with newer games. Newer ones only support analogue gamepad/joysticks a lot of times
