    Um.... what? Consoles are awful for RTS. Why on earth would you want console controls for the PC version? Use a mouse, sheesh.

    As for your issue, though... did you actually try if it worked without that XPadder? Because these games have a serious issue with Origin's "Origin In Game" system.

    Open the game's properties in the Origin client, and check the "Disable Origin In Game" option.

    If the option is greyed out, this means you tried to launch the game, and due to the malfunction, Origin thinks it's still running. To fix that, either kill the game launcher in the Task Manager, or just restart your computer.

    For the rest, when talking about C&C1, RA1 and TS, you're better off installing their unofficial patches first. They fix a TON of stuff.

    Both C&C1 and RA1 are known to have problems with left-handed mouse setup though, so I can easily see something like an xbox controller messing up as well.
