  • Why does not connect my Xbox 360 controller wireless PC adapter?

    I have problems connecting my Xbox 360 controller to my PC with a wireless adapter.

    Before answer you with the usual stock answers, please listen to my story:
    1. I had originally a gamepad Xbox 360 official provided with official Microsoft wireless adapter to PC.  It works beautifully.
    2. I wanted to connect three controllers in addition to my PC so I ordered several PC off Amazon wireless adapters.
    3. it has proved to be the knockoff versions.  http://www.Amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-gaming-receiver-Windows/DP/B000HZFCT2  
    4. I followed the instructions and others have posted to get my knockoff adapters to recognize controllers.
    5. However, there was a problem.  After having successfully obtained knockoff adapters to work, the original adapter did not work.
    6. I could get the original works again (can't remember how), but then wouldn't the imitations.  Looks like I might have one or the other.
    7. I am frustrated trying to get both to work while I have through imitations away and ordered three officials of Microsoft wireless adapter PC
    8. now, none of them will connect.  Not the official original adapter or new official adapters.
    9. I tried to reinstall the software.  Remove all software associated with the imitations.  All I could think about.
    10. I suspect that they do not work due to some residual software by imitations, but I can not understand how to fix it

  • You can use wireless controller if you use Plug-and-play?

    Hello, I was wondering, is it possible to use a wireless controller with my pc, if I use a plug and play?

    If the wireless controller is equipped with a usb port on the computer to connect to it, then it is probably intended for use on the PC. You can't just use a PS3 or Xbox controller on the computer just like that.

  • Qosmio G20 input VGA to connect to XBox 360

    How to connect an Xbox 360 console for the qosmio using a VGA HD cable like that?
    http://www.Xbox.com/en-us/hardware/x/xbox360vgahdcable/
    Is it possible to use the Qosmio fantastic monitor to play?
    Any help apreciated

    In your case the Qosmio must replace TV. This means that you can use on your Qosmio Video-IN ports only. Read s manuals to see which software component video ports plug-in Qosmio has and for that use a straight cable.

    All that s. You can't simply say I have this cable and you want to use it. You should see what cable can be used with Qosmio first and get the right one.

  • Is it possible to connect an Xbox 360 console to a HP TouchSmart 520-1030?

    I got this HP TouchSmart for over 2 years. This question comes to mind. Can you connect an Xbox 360 to a HP TouchSmart 520-1030? I looked and looked and found nothing useful on the web.

    Specifications are: HP TouchSmart 520-1030
    Intel Core i3-2120
    4 GB of ram

    No HDMI

    Hello again ScreenNameHere,

    Thank you for responding to my message asking for additional information. The only way I can see to connect your HP TouchSmart 520-1030 Desktop PC would be the use of a USB HDMI adapter. I am also including the IDT High Definition Audio Driver Update for your computer, the USB connection will not have the same sound quality and you want to make sure that you have up-to-date drivers to get the best sound, you can leave the connection.

    Please re-post with the results of this post. Thank you for bringing This problem on the HP Forums. Enjoy your day!

  • Need a transcript of Plug - and - Play foot pedal compatibility for licensees / Cancer stricken Transcriber

    Apparently, I need something called a "connector plug-and-play" so I can use my pedals to navigate through a test of medical transcription dictation using Express Scribe for audio and Windows Media Player to the foot pedal. I don't know if I have all that right.  That is this connector, I just plug it into a USB port and where can I get one?

    PS - I'm a medical transcriptionist (through speech recognition and low patient census) try to pass a test to get a job to save my life. I am also a patient suffering from cancer, so I need a job soon because my insurance COBRA spikes to $645 / month in three weeks. Can you help me?
