I'm running Vista 32 on my laptop. It recognises my PS3 controller, however when I configure the buttons on, for example, a SNES emulator, it thinks I'm already pressing the analogue stick in a direction and this stops me from assigning any other buttons.

I'm pretty clueless about that sort of thing, so is it even possible?

Not sure what drivers you used but yeah that's where my drivers are. Right click and uninstall on the appropriate one.

Reinstall and try again, but its most likely the emu.
