• Sync problems Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows and the controller (Windows XP, SP3)

  I'm having trouble connecting my controller to the wireless receiver. I use XP, Service Pack 3, 32-bit. I read dozens of help sites for help, but none has my same circumstances. The most common suggestion was to look at the driver for the receiver appears as a device not recognized. I checked the Device Manager and the receiver is recognized and does not appear as device not recognized. My controller does not appear in Device Manager as a new group named Microsoft Common Controller for Windows class, on Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. My controller syncs perfectly with my console, and functions very well also. I also downloaded the file Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories of the Microsoft hardware Web site, such as recommended by many establishments but do not know how file functions. A last help, my receiver is genuine and not fake with the XBCD holographic logo.

• my USB doesn't register that my xbox 360 wireless receiver is plugged!

  I have windows 7 installed on my computer. x 64.

  I can't save the computer I plugged the receiver, when I plug the rceiver turns on (green LED flashes). This device does not appear in the device as an unknown device manager, the bubble (installation of new equipment) never come when I plugged in the device. I installed the driver of wireless controller from the microsoft hardware site.

  I followed the instructions out of the many sites, most of the steps I just can't follow because everyone elses computer seems to show this "unknown device" in the Device Manager. So I can't manually install drivers into something that isn't really there.

  This is a real piece of equipment of microsoft and has the hologram on the bottom, it is a controller for the PC black Wireless receiver that came with a disk configuration, v2.0.2. The installation program provided on the disc does not start as it as "microsoft this has blocked due to compatibility issues". I even tried to download an update of compatibility from the microsoft Download Center, but as I have to enter a code of genuine validation and the validation tool does not work can't do that either. I went directly from windows XP to windows 7, my computer is two days old.

  If someone can provide me with any useful information I would appreciate it really, im starting to think I might have a broken unit, but I never thought it would still light up. I also tried all 6 available usb ports on my computer but it still does not detect the device as new hardware. I will quote once again as the only solution that I find online seems to be with regard to updating the "unknown device" in Device Manager, this unknown device does not exist in my device manager.

  Kind regards

  Tom

  Hi Tom,

  1. what compatibility update you tried to download?

  2. what was the code of genuine validation, you need to enter?

  3 did you receive an error message when the validation tool has failed?

• Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver - this is going to work with a remote xbox?

  Hi, I have the xbox 360 Wireless gaming receiver and I am trying to get a remote control for it.  Does the xbox 360 remote sync to the xbox or is it just regular IR

  Thanks for your help

  The xbox 360 remote control Infra-red, the 360 has an IR receiver port.

  The wireless gaming receiver is radio only, so will not pick up the remote control. There isn't AFAIK a 'remote control' for the wireless receiver such that it has a validity of the Protocol only for xbox 360 Wireless devices, although there are a lot of 3rd inventive party accessories available, there might be something. You can of course use one of these wireless devices as a remote for other applications with the right software (xpadder, beam, etc.).

  The Xbox 360 remote control can be used with a PC using an IR receiver, but it's not plug-and-play, here is a solution: http://www.redmondpie.com/using-xbox-360-ir-remote-with-vista-media-center/

  Other that that, there are a multitude of remotes for PC, IR and wireless (including bluetooth). Bluetooth is the option if you want to keep your number of receivers plugged into your pc to a minimum, however, IR is still much better for the battery of remote controls (why it is still used despite the benefits of the radio).

• 2012 update Xbox 360 Wireless Controller? Why is there not a?

  I wonder this for about two years now.
  Microsoft is generally quite well to this kind of thing.
  If it is not broken, I guess that she doesn't deserve any attention good huh.
  I was looking for a driver for this Xbox 360 wireless controller.
  The variety of PC mine is one that is very rare now, I believe that the innovator was "egg".
  In any case its identical to the Xbox 360 consoles computer only wireless controller uses the usb port and connect it to the computer.
  Just want see an update for this product...
  If not why not?

• Can I use xbox 360 Wireless & the windows wireless receiver so that I can use two controllers in Windows?

  Original title: Wireless 360 controller.

  I bought the gamepad 360 Wireless for windows and it works fine. I also have an xbox for xbox 360 wireless controller. Can I use with the receiver windows wireless so I can use two controllers in windows? When I click on the Green x button it keeps just Charlotte. Is it possible to connect to windows?

  Thank you. In fact, I installed this software already, but thanks for the tip. It turns out that I had to click the button of synchronization on the top of the controller AND the usb thing. I think I was just clicking on the USB thing. Now, it works fine. It's never the best stick for windows. THX.  :)
