It's the third time when I

It's the third time when I tried installing this driver and every time it didn't work, hopefully following this step by step guide I will finally succeed. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to use a regcure to make sure no files remained after the failed installations, I would hate to mess it up again...

dpad

everything works right except for the dpad.  I can go in all directions except for up and left at the same time (for example, in a fighting game, I can't jump up and to the left).
 

It doesnt exist when installed

I've just tried to look for the program after installing, it doesn't exist anywhere. however, I can run it at the end of the installer process. This also hasn't created the shortcuts like it said it would. Any help? This has happened every time I've tried to install.
