Configure the xbox with windows vista wireless controller

I recently bought a wireless Xbox 360 controller to use for playing mainly with Call of Duty 4 on my PC
I followed all the instructions and have the wireless receiver but cannot operate at all which is extremely frustrating
I have an install 32-bit windows vista Home premium
Can someone please

Hello Foxesfan1.

First step would be to ensure that the controller is actually seen correctly by Windows.  I'll assume that you have already synced the controller and the wireless receiver by pressing the button on the receiver and the little one on top of the controller.

To make sure that the controller is configured correctly in Windows start tying the game controllers in the box start the search on Windows 7, the option is called installation USB game controllers.  It could be called game controllers or something similar on Windows Vista, I have here in front of me to check.

Anyway it should open a window called game controllers, the controller must be in there, in this case click Properties and check that all buttons work properly.

If it is then its probably does not work because Call of Duty either is not setup in support of controllers (a ride in his options to enable the controllers support), or simply does not support at all, not all areas of PC games.

    Welcome to the HP Support forum.

    I understand that you have a HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer that connects three thin devices via the USB port, but you can not perform a wireless installation on a fourth device, equipped of Windows Vista 32-bit, because the PC does not detect the printer via the USB port. I would like to help with that.

  • What is the problem with Windows Vista?

    It's Windows Vista just bad or what!

    Sorry for my title, but I have had serious problems lately and it has been really frustrating.  This all started when I got a game, Civilization V, to be exact, as a gift.  Now, I use a laptop that is not done for the games, but I am able to run games of different strategy on a low setting without problem.  When I installed Civilization V, however, it did not work, saying that I had to download Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

    The reason why I didn't have SP2 was because I disabled the auto-update feature.  I did not want Microsoft to auto-updated my computer because it just add more files to my computer - right which may be unnecessary, i.e. IE and take hard drive space.  However, because I really wanted to play the game, I was like, so can download SP2.

    This is when the problems started to arise.  First of all, somehow, I'm done with DirectX 11.  From my understanding, XP is associated with DirectX 9, Vista with DirectX 10 and Windows 7 with DirectX11.  I have Windows Vista, but I have DirectX 11 is installed.  How is that possible?  This in turn makes Civilization V quite unstable.

    But, I'm not really upset to have the correct version of DirectX, because in all honesty, I have accidentally installed when I installed the game.

    WHAT I'M REALLY UPSET is how SP2 has completely messed up my computer.  First of all, he did my laptop completely unstable.  My starting times vary.  Sometimes, I have a blue screen when I start my computer.  Also, it has substantially increased the amount of energy/process my uses of the computer.  While my laptop has a skinny 1 HR autonomy on SP1, it has now a little 15 min autonomy on SP2.

    But perhaps what really upsets me is that since I installed SP2, I've lost half a gig of hard drive space whenever I restart my computer.  And since my computer has become unstable, I have to reboot more often then usual.  I got 10 GB of free hard disk space and now I only have 200 MB.  I tried 'disk cleanup', but now my computer has only 4 gigs.  Where's the other 6 GB?

    And the worst, Vista is that research is absolutely useless.  Find recent files that have been created (since if I lose 500 MB every time you start, I need to create some sort of file), but my search comes up with no results.

    I write because I need solutions to these three things:

    (1) how can I make SP2 uses less memory and processes?  I wish that my life of battery 1 h back instead of 15 min.

    (2) MOST IMPORTANT: How can I prevent my computer whenever I restart the loss of 500 MB of hard drive?

    (3) what are the means that would allow me to search my computer so that I can understand why I keep losing hard drive space?

    I can't believe that Microsoft will come out with an "update" which downgrades your computer actually.  And I am sure that I do not have a virus, because I have not downloaded anything / visited all websites summary recently at 90%.

    Thank you.

    Access your site from manufacturers of portable, specific to your model and update all the drivers available.

    Then to winupdate parameters depend on important updates ONLY, by installing not important updates, you leave your computer at risk and bug fixes will not be implimented

  • Getting the 80070005 error during the backup with windows vista home premium then closes backup

    When I use backup in windows I get errors then backup closes. the errors were 0x800700AA and now 0x80070005. I'm not familiar with what they mean but have tried Fixit without success.

    Hi Brian,.

    This error code means that the file or folder you want to backup does not have the necessary permissions.

    Method 1:

    If you need to make a backup of any file or folder, please ensure that give you all the permissions for that particular file or folder.

    To set the permissions of files, see the procedure below:

    a. right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.

    b. click the Security tab.

    c. under group or user names, click your name to see the permissions you have.

    d. If they don't get permission, click on change and give the full control.

    e. then check if you are able to backup.

    What are the permissions?

    Method 2: Check if you are able to backup by following these steps:

    Try to temporarily disable your anti-virus and malware during execution of the backup. If the backup works fine, then you have to search for updates and firewall settings in the security software.

    Note: Make sure that you enable the antivirus software, other security and firewall after the test programs.

    Method 3:

    Disable UAC during backup control.

    Enable or disable the User Account Control

    Note: Make sure that you enable user account control and the back of the antivirus on the computer after you complete these steps. It is not recommended to disable these settings on the computer. It's just to solve the problem.

    It seems that your settings are not correct for the access provider or router (or both).  I suggest that you contact your ISP and have them walk you step by step in the process of installation and configuration and do not let them off the coast of the Nigerian line you have a good connection, as you wish.  They know that the parameters so that we don't have, so they can help you better than we can, and I'm sure they will be happy to do.

  • Wrong with Internet Windows Vista wireless

    Hello

    I have a basic E-Machines with Windows Vista Edition desktop computer. I have 3 GB of ram and 160 GB of hard drive. I own a Link Sys adapter wireless 802.11 G and 2.4 GHZ. My wireless router is a Fritz! Box WLAN 7112 (I'm stationed in Germany, so he is a German router). The Fritz! Case is compatible with Sys Link as he worked very well with any other computer that I put it in place. In addition, my router is working fine with my wireless Xbox 360, Zune HD and my Windows 7 laptop.

    My problem is that sometimes my internet disconnects. Sometimes I'll completely lose internet in total, while at other times, I'll get the sign "local only". I tried to disable the DHCP BROADCAST times manually and through Microsoft, they offer an automatic fix for this problem. However, just at the point where it seems as if the problem disappeared, he returned. Now, the internet is cutting at least twice an hour. So the internet to reconnect, I have to disconnect and reconnect my Sys Link adapter. Also, I thought it would be my adapter, so I've known a good and I tried it out, but I came up with the same question.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
