Windows 7 Is there a program to disable peripherals?

[Zeos]

Some of my games don't like me having 3 game controllers connected to my computer. Is there a program that can disable hardware peripherals from USB or other within windows avoiding device manager and unplugging my USB's?

Gog.com's release of interstate76 arsenal freaks out.
