How to install the Microsoft Xbox 360 game wireless laptop controller running Windows 7 as a ' instead of "unspecified '?" game controller
Downloaded Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless game controller for laptop running Windows 7. The driver does not read like a game controller but appears as not specified. How can I get the hardware to read like a game controller?
How have you connected it to the computer? If you are using the play & Charge kit, it won't work because it connects only makes it to the battery. The controller always connect wireless so you will need an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming receiver for Windows. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience... I crawled off NNTP - for now.

How to install the Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad on a Windows 7 computer?
Need help to install a joystick microsoft sidewinder on my computer with a Windows 7 operating system. I have a gamepad adapter to connect via USB. Can you please help me with this.
Hi Bhottinger,
Microsoft has dropped support for this product. As such there is no driver available for this product.
However, according to the Compatibility Center Windows 7, Microsoft Sidewinder joystick is compatible with Windows 7. You can see the report here.
Therefore, using control of pilot integrated Windows if you manage to get the device works. If you have the old drivers CD, you can try changing the compatibility of the driver settings to make it work.
Method 1:
Usually, Windows will find and automatically install the necessary drivers when you plug your game controller into your computer.
(a) connect the joystick to the USB port via the adapter.
(b) see if it is detected.
(c) Windows should recognize the new hardware and set in place to work properly.
Method 2:
Install the old driver that comes with the product by changing its compatibility settings.
Reference:
Make older programs in this version of Windows

After the installation, check if the device works.

How to copy the data from Palm Desktop on a PC running Windows 8.1
If like me you still find the Palm Desktop data (addresses, calendar, notes, etc.) handy and use it long after throwing the combined capacity and 'sync', you can see this is useful. I bought a new PC running Windows 8.1 and had problems with data transfer due to a problem as I understand it, which does not exist in Windows XP, Vista or 7 versions. Here is a summary of a way to easily transfer data from these earlier versions if you have a USB flash drive (or Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever) very convenient:
(1) Download Palm Desktop 6.2 or 6.2.2 to your new PC. Give a user name exactly as it exists in the database from your old PC. This name will serve as Office Automation to create a folder name of six letters (an abbreviated version of your name) to hold the data that Palm Desktop will turn upward. Wait a few seconds for this to happen, and then close the application on your new desktop.
(2) in your old PC you want to transfer data from, find the folder named "Palm OS Desktop" which should exist in 'Documents' under path of folder and subfolders 'Users' as > your subfolder name > Documents in Windows 7 (can also be Vista) or may be under "Documents and Setting" folder in Windows XP.
(3) in this folder "Palm OS Desktop" search this subfolder of six letters of your name and select this whole subfolder and select 'Copy' or Ctrl-C
(4) locate the same name of subfolder in your new PC (which will have data zero), delete and then 'paste' the subfolder you "copied" in the exact same location. If you did it right, Viola! Your new desktop PC should display all the transferred data, once you open the application again.
Most of the same procedure works with PC Windows 8.1 (probably also Windows 8). What I found different is that the subfolder of data created under "Palm OS Desktop} had 7 instead of 6 characters with a"0"(zero), added as the last character. When finally, you copy and paste this subfolder in the new PC there so rename and add "0" for the Palm Desktop to locate these data.
I hope this helps.
Data in XP is located in C:\Program Files\Palm (or PalmOne) \ < your HotSync name truncated > \Backup.
HotSync for Win8 has been available for quite a while now! See the post at the beginning of this section called "64-bit Windows USB drivers for Palm Desktop" for instructions and driver downloads.
Palm Desktop 4.x and 6.2.2 use different database formats - 6.2.2 went to .mdb as an extension.
Best way to migrate data is to perform a HotSync on the new machine, or use the built-in in Palm Desktop Export/Import option. Export the addresses and calendar files, and then copy those of the new machine.
The import option to retrieve data.

How to test the SMS listener using 2 emulators in SDK5 running Windows 7
Hi all. Writing a SMS listener I want to test. But can someone please pass me how I can configure the SDK BB 5 (not the Eclipse plugin) running on Windows 7, so that I can send a test SMS from an emulator to another to see what is happening in the debugger. Thank you so much as always.
Found answer in another post from Kanaksony. His response has been to make the source and destination for even 1 emulator ports. His post was:
You need to sms-source port and sms-destination ports even in Simulator. Go to JDE-> Edit-> preferences-> tab-> port sms-source Simulator: 21316 and port destination sms: 21316

How can I get my xbox 360 controller to work with my computer?... I can't even recognize the hardware? Im running Vista 64 bit on a quad core rig any help would be appreciated... Thank you
Hello Ghostdogaln.
How do hang you the controller? You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.
If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

My PC tried to download and install the 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 3 (SP3) every night when I turn off the PC, but it still fails. I tried to download it manually but it does not work and I even tried the Microsoft Fix It service to detect any problems but there is not.
So, how can I download this software point?
Hello
1. are you able to correctly install the other updates?
2. you receive any code/error message when the update installs?
(a) you can check the status of updates on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site.
(b) click on view update history. A window opens that displays the updates that have been installed or that have failed to install on the computer.
You can follow this link & check if the problem persists:
If you have a problem only to install the Microsoft Office updates, I recommend you to ask your question in forum Microsoft Office assistance:

Hope the helps of information.
