Up, up, down, down...

Having an issue with a dance mat on PC - down button works, but left + down and right + down don't.

I'm using Red Octane's Ignition 3.0 dance mat (for Dance Dance Revolution games) on Windows Vista using the USB plug. While all individual buttons operate properly, if I press left and down at the same time, or right and down at the same time, only left or right (respectively) is read by the computer. Is this an issue with the hardware itself or is it something that can be addressed within the OS?

It should be noted that this isn't the more common opposite-axes issue; left + right works properly, as does up + down.

That's a fairly rare thing to own, so you might have more luck finding another owner on a topic-dedicated forum, like the stepmania forums, the ddr freak forums, and so on.

Are you using Vista's built in controller driver or 3rd party drivers??

Also, have you tried going to the game controllers under control panel and testing your inputs there? If they aren't working there, it's probably a hardware issue.
