• Installation problems on Xbox 360 on XP SP3 game controller

  I am trying to install a game controller Xbox 360 on my PC under XP sp3. The Xbox controller does not appear in Device Manager. I downloaded the Windows Xbox 360 Controller For Windows, but when I try to install it, I get an error message indicating that I need to SP1 or SP2. I am running SP3.

  I talked to technical support from Microsoft and Xbox support (each twice today) and all I get is the phone number for the other. Help!

  Hi David,

  Because the problem is with the game Xbox 360 controller, Xbox support team is a better suited to help you.

  However, we can refer to troubleshoot your Xbox 360 for Windows controller and check if this solves the problem.

  OK, I followed the appropriate for a Xbox 360 controller installation procedures, obtained the file from the internet site http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=Gaming&type=Gaming&sku=JR9-00001, and I installed it as indicated. It is not recognized as a game controller and now, not able to be used. I'm trying to use it via plug-and-play (hooked to a USB 2.0 port) so he could appear, but it won't work, period.

• Gamepad Xbox 360 as seen in "Device Manager", but not recognized as "Game controller" and will not be installed all the drivers

  My problem is very similar to the one raised here:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_other-gaming/Xbox-360-controller-seen-in-Device-Manager-but-not/fcf52151-604e-4BF3-BF55-2fa4930bc415
  However, the OP in this question unfortunately never had answer to his question.
  When I plug my Xbox 360 controller on my laptop, my computer recognizes it as a device, but does not recognize it as a game controller. Instead, my device is listed under a category called "Other devices", and the drivers are not installed (he gets the little warning sign yellow after the icon).
  I tried to install the correct 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows (Windows 7 64-bit)) and direct the machine to install its drivers from there, but nothing helps.
  I've tried right-clicking on the device, by clicking 'Uninstall', out in him plugging, uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories, restarted my computer and each unique combination of these things.
  I tried to talk to an Ambassador of Microsoft, who told me to update the driver and manually make a 'human interaction device', but unfortunately it did not work.
  I called Support of Windows games, who gave me information from these links:
  support.Microsoft.com/kb/908888
  support.Microsoft.com/kb/906347
  Outside of download the drivers manually in the form of 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' (which I already have), I wasn't able to try all of the hotfixes listed in the guides, because my camera is not listed as a joypad or human interface device. It is simply listed as "Xbox 360 Joypad" and it is listed under the heading "other devices."
  It seems that there is just something wrong with my USB and it's just is not installing drivers properly, but this isn't the case. I plugged many other devices, including an iPod, a mouse and an external HARD drive, which all had their drivers properly installed and works great.
  I also know that it is not a problem with the xbox controller, that I plugged into another laptop (also Windows 7 64-bit), as well as pilots very well on the other laptop.
  I'm really puzzled by this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please do not repeat the information or links I listed here, or who was in the last question which I quoted above. Thank you for your help.

  Here's what you do:
  1. plug your device and go to Device Manager
  2 right click on everything that your computer recognizes your device as (for me, it was listed under 'Other devices' and had a yellow warning sign on this subject) and click on "Uninstall".
  3. disconnect your device
  4. If you have not already done so, download and install the appropriate for your device 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' program
  5. plug your device back on and go back to Device Manager
  6 right-click on everything that your computer recognizes your device as (for me, it was listed under 'Other devices' and had a yellow warning sign on this subject), but this time click on "update driver software".
  7. click on "browse computer driver software.
  8. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
  9. Select "Microsoft Common Controller" and then select your device. Have it install this driver. From there on, it should work on.

• Qosmio X 500 - 11U restarts when games & cooling system problem message

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio X 500 - 11U PQX33E, bought in the summer 2010. Since 2012 (1 month after the warranty ended) he started to do restarts without reason, but I gave much attention to it, as it happened rarely. However, after 1 year things are worse and I ended up having a cell phone game that I used only as a PC Web browser. From time to time, I blew the fans to clean... Finally, I decided to fix it.

  I gave it to a technician, he cleaned, replace the dough thermal CPU - GPU and replaced one of the fans who did not work properly.

  Still nothing has changed. I tested it again (by running windows experience rating), and it crashed as before.

  I made the big decision to go back to factory settings and I made a clear installation of all components of the system (including the stuff of all the toshiba).

  Restart again for the note windows. ... (the same thing happens when I run any high graphics games)

  I have flashed the bios to v2.90

  Restart again for the note windows. (the same thing happens when I run any high graphics games)

  In addition to the above, because I did the clean install of the system, I started to get the message ' WARNING: a problem with the cooling probe happened... return it for service.

  I can hear the fan is working but when I run the diagnostic tool for Toshiba, the CPU usage is at 50% and the fan to 0%, even in use high power (yes I changed both power settings)

  Any help would be much appreciated, because I really feel VERY bad after paying 2500 EUROs for a gaming computer I can not operate for its intended use.

  Thanks in advance

  However when I try to run all 3D graphics applications (and some flash feature facebook games) it blocks (auto-off)

  The laptop turns off automatically in order to avoid the damage hardware parts... which can occur due to a higher internal temperature...

  You mention that the fans do not work

  (use of fan is at 0% because my fans are now connected to the USB ports

  I suppose that the temperature rises and the laptop turns off because cooling fan use in 0%

  To me, it looks like a typical hardware malfunction and from my point of few service technician must verify and fix it... here in the forum, we can only talk and discuss possible solutions but finally the hardware problems should be fixed by engineers of the service...

I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver of Logitech software, but the problem is still there.

  I tested this device to a desktop PC (Windows 7 Professional 32-bit), but this PC detects F710 controller using Xinput, working absolutely as planned without any installed driver software, provided by Logitech. In the details of driver in the PC window, it shows that his taking the pilot as "XBOX 360 Controller for Windows" and the driver file is xnacc.sys in system32 folder and when I searched my system32 laptop dv6 folder I found this file is missing and I n, t know why.
