Hey i just got a madcatz mmo7 but when i finished installing and run the profile editor it says no controller found. I downloaded the site driver but still nothing. Maybe i need to update something in my mobo?

Are you trying it in USB 3.0 or 2.0?
Have you tried it in a different USB slot, if you are using the front USB's, try using the back ones. Is it still detecting the old mouse in the same slot?
Try removing all the software, reinstalling. Plugging in the mouse and then restarting your computer (don't use the restart on the tower, do it through windows). you're mouse won't be working so press the windows key to bring up the start bar and then navigate using the keyboard to restart it.

i got it too work FOR THE LOVE OF GOOOOOOOD
all i had to do is use a computer that had a DVD Drive and copy the entire MINI-CD's files to my USB drive
since my gaming rig doesnt have a dvd drive
"WARNING" dooooo not use the mouse drivers from ZALMAN's website they are junk and do not work with windows 7 (not tested on other operating systems)
use the driver CD that came with your mouse
the zalman website drivers will ask to restart the computer after install = does not work
the zalman CD driver will ask to launch the software after install = work like a charm 
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
