Have you checked around to see if you are using updated drivers? (On the flip side, sometimes you are better off sticking with the original ones) Dunno what to tell you about windows drivers either (seems to me that if you are running Logitech that you should be using Logitech drivers ...but I am not a gamer). I DO know that you wouldn't use Creative 5.1 Drivers for a M$ Sound Card ....and that's where I am coming from.
Somebody here will find your post soon enough and you'll get some clues. Might help if you post if you are using Win2000, XP or ??? along with some other 'specs' for your system.
Lastly, have you tried reloading the game (you might have a "broken" .dll file or one that is written poorly or maybe doesn't integrate with your joystick)? I know joysticks are famous for incompatabilities ...but that's the extent of my knowledge (sorry).
Hang in there ....somebody will have an answer for ya. In the meantime I would see if there's an updated driver set at
www.logitech.com ...for starters.
Cheers!
