Thanks for that. It could be that something is detecting the active window and changing the way the joystick works somehow.
Are there any per application settings in the joystick driver/configuration menus ?
Please install the patch I gave you and make a video like before, but with joystick sample1 and joystick sample2 running at the same time, and quickly switch between all 3 windows while moving the right stick. Thanks.
I see the option when I use your ped.ifp:

Are you putting the file in the correct place?
Do you have more than one GTA:SA install?
Maybe you have a copy of some GTA:SA files here:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
Do you have this in your mtaserver.conf?
<client_file name="anim/ped.ifp" verify="0" />
Also clients need to switch on modified files (Checkbox will only show if they have modified data files):
Settings->Multiplayer->Use customized GTA:SA files
