 -towd- can you calibrate the stick in the Windows applet?

 I also believe there is a stick config file you can delete in AH then re-do your stick settings.
 Try that if you can indeed see and calibrate your stick in Windows.

What Westy said.  It sounds like Windows isn't recognizing the joystick.
