I've bought chinese looking gamepad for very cheap. After plugging it in my PC, installing some drivers and reinstalling it, LED indicator didn't work. When I tried launching gamepads supporting game, it didn't work at all. It is a brand new and not damaged. After reading a little bit of info on the internet I found out, it is supporting only Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP. Not Windows 7. Is there any way, how can I make it work on Windows 7 ? I don't even know what type is it, because it is probably unofficial gamepad. Type or some kind of number aren't written on the sides of this gamepad.
Next time I'm not buying something suspiciously cheap.
Sorry for my english.

If it does not support Windows 7 then, short of writing your own driver, there is nothing you can do to make it work. I'd recommend reading the supported Operating Systems portion a little more closely on any future peripheral purchases.
