My wired xbox 360 controller stopped working.
My Xbox 360 wired controller, I bought a few months ago, has stopped working. I have a desktop of windows 7 and a computer laptop windows 8 and everytime I try to plug it into either a green ring appears around the Xbox button and both computers say "USB device not recognized" I installed the drivers on the two computers from the disk included and check the updates of my office. I should also mention this controller is slightly used and did not much physical abuse at all. How should I try to fix this?

Hi, when I connect to my Wired XBOX 360 controller to my PC the guide button flashes once and there is no answer. I use 32 bit Windows 7, Dual core 2 GB Ram DDR2
Hi JamBoard,
It is possible, that you need to install the drivers for the controller. You can get them from here:

However, if it's not too hot, it could be a real hardware problem.

Xbox controller 360 + Logitech Gaming Headset G330
Extremely frustrated here... After you have reinstalled XP many times for two days, I decided the issue.
First of all, General information - had a Logitech G330 Gaming Headset for Christmas. It uses generic Audio XP USB drivers, so no disk drivers (unfortunately, in this case...). Pluged it didn't work properly - sounded HORRIBLE; scrambled, staticky, comments... all in audio, headphones and microphone.
Reinstalled XP, set windows to update all, headset still does not work! Reinstalled AGAIN, and it worked. Installed all the drivers one by one, making sure my helmet still worked. Installed SP3 without a hitch. More installed updates to windows. Then, I installed my drivers of wired Xbox 360 controller from the Microsoft site... and boom, the headset sucks again!
Now, I play a LOT of pc games. HOW can I still use my 360 controller without breaking the functionality of my new Logitech headset? If she is to install the drivers for the controller without the audio drivers for it, or something that makes the 360 controller audio port does not work, the quality of the sound is me... it is always lower than normal, at best... new helmet is clear.
Edit - since he did not save my last edit... Yes, I did do a system restore and back when he was working. 360 controller not well yet.
Absolute worst case, I can see if I can get third-party drivers to work as XBCD and Xpadder, but last I checked, that they did not work with the 360 controller...
Here are a few other experiences with the Xbox controller and the solution that I found:

Windows 7 x 64: driver problems a wireless Xbox controller
When I connect the Xbox controller to the computer via micro-USB cable, Windows Update searches for a driver, but no driver is found. When I plug the controller after installation of the failed pilot system, the controller vibrates and the computer says that there is a problem. In Device Manager, the controller is labeled as controller. I looked on the official website of Microsoft for drivers so that I could update the driver manually, but the only free software is of technical manuals.
Why Windows Update does not find a driver to install, and how could I solve this problem?
