Hi Ron, That's strange. I haven't had a bit of trouble with my Logitech controller under Windows 7. It works with my games, and I've played with TDV as well. However, the issue might be as simple as 32bit vs 64bit Windows. Since my laptop has only a 32bit processor my versions of Linux and Windows 7 installed on it are 32bit rather than 64bit.
