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

Hi Benjamin,

I understand your frustration, but rest assured that I am here to help you with the question.

The Play and Charge kit connects only up to the actual battery.  The controller connects wireless. You need an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming receiver that connects to your wireless controller existing.

Please meet us for more details so that we can help you.

  • Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet works on Windows 7, but does not work on Windows 8. (Error code 10)

    Hello!

    I telled main things in the title.

    Things I've done:

    Checked device Maneger, code 10 error.

    Downloaded the driver and paste the .sys file in the system32\drivers. Same thing. After I removed it, but the same thing happens.

    I wanted to install the latest driver, error code 10.

    What is the problem?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in the forums of Windows.

    I understand that you have found the error code 10 on the computer. We're really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We will help you solve the problem.

    A Code 10 error is generated in the Device Manager in one of the following situations:

    • Device Manager cannot start the device.
    • One of the pilots who needs the unit does not start.

    Error Code 10 is mainly related to devices and hardware driver problems or compatibility problems between the drivers of equipment and additional software that is installed in Windows. Therefore, we recommend that solve you these problems with emphasis on device drivers, configuration of device problems and hardware compatibility issues.

    Which is exactly the model of the Ethernet card?

    Given that the unit was working fine with Windows 7, you might face this problem because the device driver is not compatible with Windows 8. I advise you to download the latest driver from Broadcom site and then try installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    You can follow the link given below to install the driver in compatibility mode.

    In Windows 7, it fails with "the system cannot find the file specified."

    Is this a bug or is it a 'work-around '?

    Windows 7 has a different layout of Windows Explorer, then Windows XP and Windows 2003...

    1. go to Windows Explorer and look for the folder

    2. at the top, copy the path, and then try again.
