Everything works except for the right analog. Two games it will work for but all the rest are compatible for a controller but still it won't work. I pirate games but I don't think that has anything to do with it cause the ones it does work with are also pirated. Even the games that are pre programed for a controller still won't work. The driver program for the controller is logitech profiler. Any advice would help thanks.
Answer
Is there a configuration application with that logitech driver? Is it a logitech pad?
If there's a calibration program, open it up and see how it numbers the axes and buttons. Some games will automatically assume the axes are 0,1,2,3. Maybe they are numbered differently on that one.
If it doesn't say, see if it saves the calibration, then enable hidden file viewing and track down the configuration file. It should be recorded there what the axes are.
Then the games themselves, even the ones that are pad-compatible might just be meant to work with one stick, not two. A lot of shooters do this, because pc shooter fans will still sneer at you if you don't aim with the mouse. They will let you move with the left stick, but the aiming remains excusively with the mouse. If there are look keys though, you could use a keypress emulator to get around that. That is a utility that translates the right stick movement into customized keyboard events.
It has nothing to do with the games being pirated.
Try downloading a flightsim called Targetware. It's free cause it's in beta. It is extremely gamepad compatible and might give some clues to how the other games look at your gamepad, cause it has its own calibration utility.
Since it works with a couple of games, it's not broken. Just a compatibility issue.
If you can open the configuration files for the games, you may be able to manually edit the axis and button bindings. In fact, you should be able to do so on any respectable game. I had to do this with quake 2 when I installed it on my ps3.

PC GamePad ?
Unknown
I want to buy a gamepad that works on all pc games
is there any?
What is the best one?
Will a Usb converter for PS2 pads be good enough?
Answer
Indeed a USB converter will suffice for a PS2 controller or an X-Box controller (or a gamecube one if you can find one). I have 2 PS2 to USB converters which I use for my dance mats on Stepmania. I also have a Logitech dual action controller which is very nice. They dont work in all games and require quite a bit of setting up for on some but they are still good none the less
