X52 Joystick + BF2????

[RAZAEREO]

Hey, Ive got my x52 saitek joystick here, its been working for years and theres nothing wrong with it but today when i patched BF2 to 1.5..... it wouldnt work. I have been out of the bf2 community for a while. Does anyone know how to fix this?! Is there something I can download or does it simply NOT WORK . I am running Windows 7 64bit but there has been no problems up until now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
