N64 Controller Config Issue

I am having trouble setting up my N64 controller adapter to work with Project64. It is a 2-controller adapter made by Mayflash. When I set this controller up on my old laptop (windows XP) I never had a problem. I used this video to program it (

) . I have windows 7 now and how you configure controllers is totally different.

Anyways my main problem is that I configured the controller and the only button that it will not let me configure is the “C-down” button. I have no idea how to fix this.When I watch the video it says at 3:10 to 3:20 that you need to click on “N-range” or the “C” buttons do not work. Could that possibly be it?...and if so what how do I acceses that option via windows 7?

Might help to identify for us the controller adapter you are using.

Gotcha, that’s the same method used in the video posted above. I made it to step 5 on the list from the review. I open project64, click options, click configuration control plugin, proceed to program each button in fine, now the C-down button won't program on player 1. I program player 2 and everything works. I was thinking the controller might be broken so i tried with 3 different controllers and the configuration for "c-down" still doesn’t work. This has me stumped!

1) Plug the adapter into your laptop - Windows should automatically verify that it's an HID gamepad
2) Go to start -> Devices and Printers, then right click the USB gamepad and click game controller settings
3) THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART! This had me stumped for quite awhile. In the game controller settings menu, you should see two controllers listed, both named USB gamepad. Now, the first USB gamepad corresponds to the SECOND (rightmost) plug on your USB adapter. I had my N64 controller plugged into the first one and was trying without success to calibrate my controller. So, remember - the first USB gamepad corresponds to the rightmost plug, the second USB gamepad goes to the left plug.
4) Go through the Windows calibration test
5) Start up Project 64. Go to controller input settings. Make sure you check the box that tells P64 that your controller is plugged in. Then, change the default button settings using the N64 controller.
6) Play and have fun

Fixed it....I don't know why I didn't think of this before. The way to get around this error is to program the controller labled as "Player 2" and then save those settings. Then click on the "Player 1" tab and load the player 2 settings.
