Did it come with it's own devise drivers?
could b just a compatibility issue.
try going to devise manager and check if you see any compatibility's.
to get there click start/control panel/performance & maint./administrative tools/computer management:
in the left window double click devise manager
then scroll down to game controller, and check there.
if there is a compatibility...you will see a yellow ! quotation mark.
you could aslo trying it in a different usb port
