• Driver for wireless Xbox 360 on Windows 7 (64) not appearing is not in the device after the installation manager.

  is there nothing in the folder 'Microsoft Xbox 360' accessories in the start menu.

  After installing 'Xbox 360 accessories software 1.2 64-bit for Windows 7", restart takes about 5 minutes which is unusually long.
  I bought a (generic) wireless receiver and went to the Device Manager to update the driver and the only thing that appears in the category 'Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class' is a 2006 (XBOX 360 Controller For Windows) driver that does not work. " There's no such thing as the newer drivers (already installed). What I'm missing here?
  Any help with this would be much appreciated.

  I got it to work. If pilots do not appear after installation, and you begin to notice the empty folders in your Start menu, it's because of permissions.  If you bought your pc used, ensure at their level of access to your account transfer system, you are the system administrator is not enough.

• Gamepad Xbox 360 for Windows pc freezing when the vibration is enabled

  Anyone know a fix for this, whenever I have the vibration turned on for any game using the controller Xbox 360 for Windows (by cable), it freezes the game and I can't get my PC to respond again by disconnecting the controller.

  This occurs if the game supports natively the 360 controller or not.

  Games question until now:

  Dead Space
  Dead Space 2
  LIMBO
  Tomb Raider: Legend

  Deactivation of the vibration in one of these games feature solves the problem, but does anyone know a solution where I'd be able to use the vibration?

  The problem you are experiencing may be caused by the power of the amount needed when the vibration is enabled. I had the problem on my old PC, that when I used my controller, my sound would play as the speakers had holes in them and that the game would freeze-freeze-start. The Xbox 360 controllers use 500mA, which is over the limit that provides a USB port. With this audio device, a keyboard and a mouse together via a USB port, which is an aspiration constant quite heavy on the USB supply rail.
  I fixed it by getting a small USB 7 port hub which is outwardly the power (this is important) and plug my controller. This way he can draw the entire, there need without slipping down the USB ports attached to the motherboard. Just be sure it's a hub with an external power supply.

• Unable to get controller Xbox 360 on Run

  Basically, this does not work, and I don't know why. Here are the basics:

  With the rechargeable pack wireless controller

  Windows 8

  Dell Inspiron with 6 GB of RAM and dual core 2.5 GHZ

  Program that runs in Windows 7 compatibility mode

  The controller can be found in devices and printers as "Wireless controller for Xbox 360 with plug-and-play charge kit", but it is not detected by Micro Sofy Xbox 360 accessories. Circle button on the controller has 4 lights flashing instead of one as usual.

  I tried several controllers, and both have the same problem. On one, however, they illuminate the room and charges are red and the other green.

  I tried to reinstall the program.

  Any idea? Don't want to hit twenty clam down at least for a PC controller.

  Hello

  Hoping to get help with this, because I searched everywhere and had not found an answer.  All the work around the items, reference Windows 7 and 8 not XP my Dell Dimension C521 shipped with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 pre installed.  I've upgraded to SP3 of XP.  A friend of mine gave me his old Xbox 360 (bought a new unit).  When I try to connect to the XBox 360 I get an error message in media library "uninstall the update for media center 2005 and then re-install the update of the site Web of Windows update.  Then, re-run Setup for Xbox 360'

  I checked in my under settinds program control panel, but don't see any element for Media Center 2005, even with show checked all of the updates.  I don't see Media player listed and 2 updates for it.  I have disabled the Windows Firewall did not help.  The Xbox 360 test shows that I can connect to the internet, Xbox Live (no NAT problems) and PC running Media Center.  It fails on the media center connection test.

  I don't want to reinstall all of the Dell backup image software supplied with the camera, I'll have to back up and start over.  Any help is welcome!

  Thank you
