Can not get the xbox 360 "ring of fire" controller to stop flashing on pc windows 7.

I have windows 7 64 bit and I can use the gamepad xbox 360 on it just find but light ring stops flashing. Apparently the lit quadrant is supposed to signal that "port" it is plugged, but it is not only the case.

I had this same problem and it was caused by the installation of bad driver.  To solve this here is what you should try:

Plugin your controller
Click Start
Click on Control Panel
(material and audio sub in blue letters), click View devices and printers

MAKE SURE THAT THE UNKNOWN DEVICE IS YOUR FIRST CONTROLLER BY REMOVING THE PLUG OF YOUR COMPUTER AND SEE THAT IT DISAPPEARS FROM THE LIST

(Plug the controller back to continue)
Right click (if there is an unknown device), and then click Properties
Click on the Hardware tab
Click on the properties button
Click the change settings button
Click on set to update driver
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
Scroll down until you see common Microsoft controllers for the windows class
Double click on it
(On the list in the box open select :) If you are using a wired remote: gamepad xbox 360 for windows version 2.1.0.1349 [8/13/2009]...if you use a controller and a wireless receiver: receiver wireless xbox 360 for windows version 2.1.0.1349 [2009-08-13]])
Click next
(in the new box that opens), click Yes.
