I am having problems too.  Here is my mail to Gravis:

I have just installed the full install of Win98 on a clean HD and then
installed the new drivers for the Gamepad Pro and I have a problem:  The
Gamepad direction control will not go up & left (northwest).  I have two
controllers and it is the same.  All other buttons appear to be working
normally.  I have a AMD K6-300, 64 Megs SDRAM, Mediavision PAS-16
Soundcard, and a Shuttle HOT-569 motherboard.  Bear in mind that when I put
my other HD in that all of this works just fine, so it is definitely a
problem with the new drivers.  Let me know if you need and further info. 
Thanks...

Any ideas out there?

"When the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the
British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of
Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual
way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken
them, and let them sink gradually.". . . I ask, who are the militia? They
consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers." 
-- George Mason, during Virginia's U.S. Constitution ratification
convention, 1788
