I didnt make any changes at all from the default settings for mine. Are yours the USB ones or the old style? I have the old "joystick port" style, and I dont have to do much to them, but I noticed when I was using USB stuff I had to recalibrate fairly often. I think it was a power fluctuation causing it. One of my friends had the same problem, solved it with a PCI card that had the USB ports on it instead of using the ones that were built-in.
