Cannot install drivers for xbox 360 wired controller.

Original title: How can I install my controller wired correctly?

I'm trying to install the drivers for my xbox 360 wired controller, that I bought from Gamestop on my Toshiba Qosmio x-870 running windows 7 64 bit. When I plug the controller into the usb port, the drivers are automatically downloaded, but for some reason any cannot be installed. I tried the driver downloaded from the Microsoft Web site software. I also tried to uninstall the controller and try again. Any advice?

Try the controller on another computer and see if it works, or take the controller back and exchange it for another.

I have one on my computer and installed Windows 7 drivers automatically when I plugged the controller works fine.

  • Xbox 360 wired controller cannot find drivers

    I recently built a new computer that runs on windows 7 and want to use my xbox 360 wired controller to play a game on it. But every time I plug my controller that my computer is unable to find its drivers. I tried troubleshooting, plug the controller into different ports and update the drivers manually, but none of it works. I was able to use my controller on my old computer but am confused as to why I can't use it on this one.

    Hello

    4 months ago, I bought an Xbox 360 wired controller for PC, I use it since a few games, but especially of the Fifa and recently, when I connect to 15 of Fifa, it detects 2 controllers instead of one and the controls were reversed as, as 2 controllers 1 controller-controlled and I can't fix it ,

    I already reinstalled the drivers, put it in the other USB Ports and I started to wonder if it's because of my windows, perhaps as an error that detects how, I would be very grateful if anyone knows a solution for this problem

  • Windows compatible xbox 360 wired controller

    Purchased windows compatible xbox 360 wired controller this seller assured me would work under Vista. But apparently not.
    I downloaded the latest driver suitable for the material and installed according to the instructions (with controller unplugged) but still no joy.  I have Vista Home Premium.  The controller is recognized and responds in the calibration utility, but doesn't seem to work for the games. Is it compatible for Vista and Modern Warefare 2?  Are only some supported games? If I lost my time & or silver?

    Only some games support a controller.  Most of the games, including pulling just support a mouse - frankly because it's much better to use a tiny stick.

    If his work all in calibration tools then the controller is working properly, unless the cod has an option somewhere to allow a controller then it probably does not support one.  His place to decide what methods of control that they want to support the game developers.

  • XBOX 360 wired controller not working not with my Xbox but works on another Xbox

    Problems with my xbox wired controller.  When I plug it into a usb port it flashes once quickly and turns off.  I tried to use it with other boxes of xbox 360 and it works very well.  I did all the troubleshooting steps and the wireless remote we have works very well.  We sent the box to Microsoft 2 times already because of the same issue.  both times he worked for a short period, then stopped working both times.  I don't want to send it back again so please Help!

    If the controller is working on other computers, then it's a problem with the USB port to which you connect the Xbox to.

  • Cannot install drivers for HD Audio win 7 64 Pro Windows default for generic HD driver

    Hi all

    I pray that someone can enlighten me as to how to install the correct audio drivers HD in Win 7 Pro instead of generics.

    The motherboard is an Asus Rampage Extreme and the sound card is a PCIe that accompanies the Board of Directors. The manual calls what it a 'card SupremeFX X - Fi' my system is a dual boot with XP on another partition, the sound works fine, XP, with all the extras, I need.

    If I go to Device Manager and remove the existing driver, and then when I try to install the ones I want, I get a message saying ' cannot find a device supported on this machine. "and the installation program quits.

    Of course when I reboot 7 wants to reinstall what he thinks is right. I'm at square one!

    Once the proper drivers are installed, I can then install the Creative Sound Launcher located in the Tools menu. It gives me a graphic equalizer, a Crystallizer and many other controls for the sound card. I can install these items listed, but none of them will any work without the correct driver.
    They have simply open and refuse to work saying "Device supported by this application is not found on this computer."

    I need a way to install the Asus / drivers Creative instead of the 7 seems to think are "correct."

    Nowhere for the MB manual called the card its a 'creative', but it is quite possible that the software package that comes with it has creative name on it in the world.

    A search of the site Creative shows no drivers for a card with the name that I mentioned above.

    Asus forum do not know more so here!

    Thank you all in advance!

    The dual boot is your problem. Why do you always need XP?

    And you're going to have things the wrong way!

    You need specific drivers XP on this partition and specific drivers W7 on that partition.
    See you soon,.
    Jerry

    HI Jerry,

    Thanks for the reply. I don't know how I mislead you with my ad. I said that the sound is FINE under XP it's W7 who "was" that is rampant in me.

    I eventually found the drivers from the Asus site and program utility that controls the different things like the EQ and others. Note that some of them were not in the right directory and I would have never thought to look under the heading where they have resided!

    I use XP because I have so much software that doesn't work on 7. I am also on disability and can't afford to start replacing and material. At the moment the dual boot is a solution very, I see using a virtual machine in W7.

    Problem solved, I had needed was someone to Asus who has understood my dilemma.

    See you soon

  • Cannot install drivers for Deskjet 3650 in Windows 7 XP

    I have a HP Deskjet 3650 which is connected through the USB port on my primary computer running Windows 7.  I can print without problem, I have problems sharing this printer with 2 other computers running Windows XP.  I downloaded the drivers for XP and excerpts on the Windows 7 computer.

    On the properties of the printer HP Deskjet 3600 series, I clicked on the sharing tab.

    Share this printer and rendering of printing on client computers are both checked.

    When I click on additional drivers, only X 64 is checked and said yes less installed.

    The two other options (Itanium and x 86) are both unchecked and say no less installed.

    I tried x 86 control and clicking on OK.  Then I am asked to install print drivers and browse to where are printer drivers.  I navigate to the 3600, enu, pilots, win2k_xp folder and see hpf3600k.inf when I click Open, then select OK, I get a selected printer driver not found error that indicates the specified location does not contain the driver for hp deskjet 3600 series (BOBO) on the architecture of processor required.

    On one of the XP machines, I installed the printer software and am not able to print if I physically plug the printer on it.

    On another XP machine, I have installed the printer software, but I download and extract the drivers.  When I click on the Add Printer Wizard and select the printer on the network, it tells me that I'm about to connect to a printer on the computer Windows 7 and says that it will automatically install a print on my machine driver.  I click Yes to allow him to continue and he told me that the server for the hp deskjet 3600 printer doesn't have the installed printer driver and I can click OK to search for the correct driver.  I click OK and navigate to the folder I extracted the drivers to and see that hpf3600k.inf is located in the folder and click OK and I get a window of driver error install that says that Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver.  To help locate and install a suitable driver, contact your administrator.

    So, it seems to me that the driver that I downloaded on the site of hp for Windows XP is not the correct driver, am I wrong here?

    How can I get this printer to print on all 3 computers work without having to move from one to the other.  The printer must be physically connected to the Windows 7 computer, as the other 2 are in children's rooms.

    Try the following: on the machine XP go to the printers and Faxes folder, add a local printer, printer, create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the name of the actual share of the shared computer and printer), OK, and then click disk and point to the directory where you unzipped the driver XP.

    On the XP machine, you have already installed the driver do the following: go to the printers and Faxes folder, right click on the Deskjet 3650, select Properties, Ports, the port, Local port Add, new Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the name of the shared computer and printer), OK.
