Emulator Problem: Problem with N64 USB controller

Hi everyone,
I recently downloaded Project64 and Zelda Majora's Mask on my computer; I also bought a n64 controller and a USB transformer.
The controller is recognised by the computer and the emulator and works fine, but there's a problem with my analogic joystick: for example when I'm playing zelda, it doesn't make any difference if I push a little or very hard in a direction, my character will always walk at the same speed = very slowly... Majoras mask is a game based on time, so basically I can't play if my character runs like a snail...
So my question is can this be fixed? or at least can I make it go fast instead of slow? Is there a setting I didn't see? Please help me out, I'm dying here T__T
Thx and sorry if my english is not very good ^^

You need to calibrate the controller. Not sure if you have xp or win7 but here is how.

Now it works perfectly! Thank you very much!!

You may also want to add a dead zone. If the pointer or the character starts to float increase the dead zone.

yes I saw that deadzone thing, but what do you mean by floating?

If anyone would still pay attention to this thread... I wonder if there's a way to do that with Windows 8? There isn't a 'Game Controllers' option in the Windows 8 control panel. And the Zelda games are the only ones my controller's joystick acts funny on. It isn't slow in any other games.
