• Receiver wireless XBOX 360 will not connect to the controller with Windows XP 32-bit

  I bought the receiver the other day and tried it on my computer. I installed the stuff that came on the disc, no problem. I plugged the receiver and tried to turn on the controller and it simply not picking up the controllers. I tried on all 3 of the controllers that I own, but nothing helped.

• Pavilion network adapter are not not in Device Manager

  My Pavilion P6330f lost the internal network adapter (no internet connection, adapter are not not in Device Manager).  Is it possible to re-restore/refresh it?  I tried to do a scan to refresh hardware, but it doesn't show any internal network adapter.

  I was able to get back on the network by installing a wireless network adapter via the disk support provided with the wireless USB device and using Device Manager.

  It seems that the internal NETWORK adapter has gone (fried) and I need to install a new NETWORK adapter in one of the expansion slots.  Other options?

  Is this a common problem?

  D.

  No, it is not common, unless your home has experienced a surge\dropout of power or a bolt of lightning. What you are experiencing, this is usually the result of thet.

  Since your office worked five years ago, he certainly provided you a reliable service. You might consider looking for a PC replacement in 2015. SCP last usually about five years before replacement is required.

  Wireless, it's that a good option as no extra wire is a good thing.

• XBox 360 will not connect to the secure WRT54GS network.

  Have you tried the suggestions we found in the forums for the connection manually and we continue getting a connection error. We rebooted the modem and the router as well, and the XBox 360 do not always connect. Any ideas how to make so that it can connect to our secure network without messing up the network that we have already had to reset and set again only a couple of weeks and don't want to go there again.

  It turns out that the problem was with the Xbox360 not its wireless sensor and refusing to install the correct programming for it. Had well cleared.

• Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

  It's VERY odd and very annoying!

  I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

  So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

  However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

  He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

  I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

  She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

  If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

  I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

• 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".

  8. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.

• Mobile gamepad XBOX 360 not recognized when connected to a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium computer USB ports

  Very well - so a few days ago (Saturday ~ 2) (25. 2012) I connected to my XBOX 360 (Wired) controller on my Toshiba Satellite L655 computer laptop with Windows 7 ~ Home Premium 64-Bit. To my surprise, a Notification bubble popped up from the taskbar, saying that the "unrecognized USB device. It has malfunctioned. "

  Naturally, I took, waited a few seconds, and then reconnect the USB key. The same message has popped up. Now, I was angry. Repeatedly, I took and reconnected it all a few seconds until that FINALLY the 4 green lights around the button Guide everything illuminated and then back except the one on the upper left, which was the way it should have been.
  I went to the control panel and clicked on the 360 controller to see if he had any input. Nope.
  I pulled out once more, has waited a while and plugged in. No, lucky. The same thing happened again. The Notification bubble came, all 4 green lights on and then all four of them died. I don't know what happened.
  When I plugged the controller to the laptop the FIRST FULL TIME, he installed all necessary drivers in less than a minute and I was on my way. Every time after that, I have taken the controller into the USB Port and began to play. Now all the time, that is to say that it cannot recognize the controller?
  I've tried everything, even a system restore. Nothing did. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for a few minutes, there was an entry of the controller, then he went just blank.
  I need this controller in order to play my racing games, seeing the keyboard control just aren't the best. I don't know what the problem is, but I wish I had a solution A.S.A.P. Please, Microsoft, please. Help me!
                                                                                                                          
  
  
  
  

  I had the same problem, cannot find a solution that worked everywhere, including Microsoft support forums.

  About to give up, I remembered the old cure NDA, shaped, "why not?"  I've tried everything else. "So I've disconnected everything on the gamepad, blew in every connection and reconnected everything, by ensuring that the connections were tight.

  It has worked perfectly since then.

• gamepad Xbox 360 detected but does not work on windows PC 8.1

  I recently got the game pack and usb support, and I tried to connect it to my laptop. I am sure that it is in a USB 2.0 port, and it is detected (depending on the devices and printers) at 90%. However, each guide I find tells me to open 'the game controller settings' in the menu devices and printers and test the device, or open Joy.cpl. There is no option 'game controller settings' for me, and joy.cpl doesn't detect anything. I tried all the drivers I could find and had to restart at least 10 times trying to follow all the guides, but it won't work.

  I also downloaded the software that is supposed to come with the regulator in line, and a guide that I used, I would just download the version of windows 7 and open it in compatibility mode, I did, but that didn't help. He gave me the software for the controller, and I have the small window that shows how the controllers are connected. This window, however, does not detect the controller, saying he has no connection.

  It's very frustrating, and any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

• Gamepad Xbox 360 triggers work only not on PC in games?

  So as lame as it is, I tried to play Fifa 07, while my 13 Fifa copy shows. However, when the controller configuration I can't assign the control keys as in the buttons of the game, for example, I can't assign the right trigger to use sprint. Anyone else have similar problems in other games? and if so, is there anything that Microsoft intends to do to activate it? I'll be able to assign to triggers in Fifa 13?

• WMP11 & sharing media w / Xbox 360 - does not display settings ' share my media to.

  Recently, I tried to connect my Xbox 360 to my laptop PC running Windows XP SP3. All the official how - in fact seem as easy as going to WMP 11, then the 360 was on and connected to the network and will 'Media Sharing' and check the box, "share my media". However, while they were inspecting the area, nothing happens, no detail windows open upwards. All are two buttons, OK and CANCEL. I click OK, all gray outside for a while as the settings are applied, then it returns to the same window sharing media files, no new options, no new parameters. Like nothing happened.

  And indeed, nothing has changed.

  Gentlemen, what do I do?

  AGVKrioni,

  Sorry to hear about your difficulties.  No fun!  If the Xbox 360 don't watch not appear inside WMP 11 as a shared device, then it is possible that WMP 11 does not see the Xbox.

  1. the xbox is completely up to date via xbox live?

  2. it can also be caused when the Xbox and computer are actually on 2 different networks (despite being connected in the same building).  Connect the computer or Xbox Wireless?  To check that they are in fact on the same network, obtain the IP address of your Xbox.
  -Go to system settings network settings.  Note the IP address.
  -Go to your computer.  See if you can test your XBOX (see on the network).  Open the prompt (start, run, "cmd").  Type "ping ipaddresshere ".  Do you have an answer?

  3. check that you have all the latest Windows updates (there may be other updates/patches for network management issues)

  4 turn off your Windows Firewall

  I hope that these 4 ideas help or someone much more intelligent that I add ideas, because there is nothing else I can offer.  I hope that helps!  Good luck.
