madcatz TE fightstick doesnt work on PC - cold turkey for a game of SF!

I recently sold my PS3 for a PS4 so my shiny Madcatz TE Fight stick was cast to one side for 6 months. I haven't play SF for a while but decided ill pick it up on my PC. I did some research beforehand and found out the madcatz ps3 fightstick has compatibility issues, particularly with AMD chipsets which I have. After a lot of googling I saw some advice on certain forums that said ill need to install an internal USB PCI board with a VIA chipset to get it to work. So I promptly bought the following device...

This was primarily based on the feedback in this thread...

The device came today, i installed it no problem, Windows detected the device and installed the drivers. I got a driver disk with it and installed the USB 2.0 driver as well. I plugged my stick in the new usb slot, windows detected it and installed it.

Thing is I'm having the exact same issue as before which is Windows recognises the device but the inputs aren't recognised either in Windows device manager or in game. When i load SF in steam and go to button settings, i can arrow across to the fight stick, it even says MADCATZ TE FIGHTSTICK across the top of the screen but I cant bind the buttons. i've tried using the LS, DP, and RS switch on the joystick but no luck.

Im using Windows 7 64 bit, i can post the exact model of my motherboard if that helps later. I cant right now because im posting this on my iPad.

Can any of you helpful people tell me if i have missed a step or is there another solution available?

Cheers!
