Thrustmaster Problem

I just recieved a Thrustmaster FCS (for my birthday, actually. :) )
and I have a problem with it. It seem s to work fine on X-Wing, Yeager's 
Air Combat, and one other one I own that I can't remember at the moment.
Unfortunately, I have two big problems. Comanche is the biggest, and 
GunShip 2000 is the other. GS2000 works okay, but the hat will 
occaisionally "default" to the left view, which is not only distracting 
and annoying, but fatal. :)
It does this rarely, but when it does, it keeps constant.
Second, Comanche. The hat appears flawless in this, but I can't center 
it. The entire flightstick veers to the left no matter where I aim it.
The manual repeats often enough the fact that a second active port will 
do this, but the only other port I have for joysticks is the one on my 
multi I/O port--and I don't have a clue if it's actually active, let 
alone how to disable it.
 
My question to those benevolent enough to assist is this: How do I get my 
Thrustmaster to work properly? I've tried everything short of launching 
my entire machine off my roof. 
Any help is desperately needed, as I am a complete slave to simulators of 
any sort, and I miss the chance to play Comanche... :)
