Joystick Problems

Busby

This is probably the weirdest thing I've ever seen but while playing Madden 2002 my joystick just won't work. It will be perfectly fine, I chose a play and then it quits working. It gets power, Windows recongizes it still and it works in the test area in the Sidewinder properties.
