I just tested Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit Upgrade and I'm disappointed that Logitech does not support the Dual Action Gamepad in Windows 7.(Or a whole bunch of their stuff) I've been using their Logitech profiler software to program my gamepad for mouse use and specific keyboard functions for years. To not have this is such a problem for me that it changes the way I simply use PCs. Luckily I only installed Windows 7 on a test rig that I don't rely on for anything so I didn't waste an activation key either as I still have 3 from my Home Premium Family Pack. I'm not sure if the actual gamepad will even work as just a normal gamepad since I just used the Xbox 360 controller for games that work well with it. I don't have patience for waiting to see if driver support comes around so does anybody know of a programmable gamepad that will also be flexible for Windows 7?:wtf:

That was the only glitch I could find upgrading from Vista and I tried everything including running in compatibility mode for just about every other operating system and that didn't work.
