Controller woes.

My third-party gamepad isn't working in a racing game or anything else since the Razer driver update. It used to be plug and play. i've tried restarting, reinstalling the game, and plugging directly into the PC. i'm out of ideas. i've heard about Steam Input, XInput and DirectInput, but i'm not suree how they relate. Could someone explain what's likely happening and how to fix it? seriously need help here 馃槶
