I've had a couple games now detect a joypad/controller present now when there isn't one. It's not showing up under connected devices. Does anyone have an idea as how to potentially track this down? I wouldn't care, but it's screwing up my ability to play one of the games (Mass Effect).

Do you maybe have a mouse or keyboard with special functions that might show up this way?

And I've looked... but those USB devices are always so friggin ambiguous.

Hmm, maybe something that can be turned off in the BIOS?

I installed some joypad > keyboard mapping software once and it left a service running in the background for a virtual joypad.
Uninstall GFWL as well, if you have it. That thing is a mucking fess, especially if you've ever plugged a 360 pad into your PC.

Ehh? What are you talking about? Games for Windows Live is simply a library that runs behind supported games. The only client software for it is the GFW Marketplace, which has nothing to do with controllers. （;;￣Д￣）ノ
