Can't you just load a restore point from before installing the gamepad
driver? Logitech gamepads don't need a driver installed because Windows
has drivers built in for gamepads and the game will allow you to
reconfigure which buttons do what. You can just email Logitech and ask
them how to fix it. The two drivers should never conflict anyway so it
is Logitechs fault.
