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 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.

  • Can not get the xbox 360 "ring of fire" controller to stop flashing on pc windows 7.

    I have windows 7 64 bit and I can use the gamepad xbox 360 on it just find but light ring stops flashing. Apparently the lit quadrant is supposed to signal that "port" it is plugged, but it is not only the case.

    I had this same problem and it was caused by the installation of bad driver.  To solve this here is what you should try:

    Plugin your controller
    Click Start
    Click on Control Panel
    (material and audio sub in blue letters), click View devices and printers

    MAKE SURE THAT THE UNKNOWN DEVICE IS YOUR FIRST CONTROLLER BY REMOVING THE PLUG OF YOUR COMPUTER AND SEE THAT IT DISAPPEARS FROM THE LIST

    (Plug the controller back to continue)
    Right click (if there is an unknown device), and then click Properties
    Click on the Hardware tab
    Click on the properties button
    Click the change settings button
    Click on set to update driver
    Click Browse my computer for driver software
    Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
    Scroll down until you see common Microsoft controllers for the windows class
    Double click on it
    (On the list in the box open select :) If you are using a wired remote: gamepad xbox 360 for windows version 2.1.0.1349 [8/13/2009]...if you use a controller and a wireless receiver: receiver wireless xbox 360 for windows version 2.1.0.1349 [2009-08-13]])
    Click next

    cuzandlisa,
    I have not had this problem myself.  But you might want to look at the troubleshooting on the Xbox site.
    This page is especially for the Xbox to the PC controllers:
    http://support.Xbox.com/support/en/us/NXE/hardware/accessories/accessoriesforPC/ControllerforWindowsList.aspx

    Hope that gives the info you need.  FYI: My first thought would be to uninstall\reinstall the driver.  Also make sure that your PC is up to date with updates.

    Windows 7 was not my idea, but it still rocks! Soli Deo Gloria!

  • Controller XBOX 360, used for mice

    OK... I just bought the game of the year Elderscrolls oblivion eddition and I bought a XBOX 360 controller to use considering how it is compatible with windows 7... Everything works great with one exception. The right analog stick on the controller is supposed to control the movements of camera but it does nothing, so I have to resort using the mouse which can be quite the pain. How can I set the analog stick right to act like the mouse to control the camera? Its very important and any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I think he was looking for the Oblivion controller settings.

  • How &#60; I &#62; completely &#60; /i &#62; reinstall a wired controller Xbox 360 on a Windows PC?

    I have a wired Xbox 360 controller, which I use on my PC and my laptop... Who is having trouble on the PC when the Vibration is enabled in games. (Among other problems)

    I read the other post, where the answer is that the bus power supply and motherboard were not powerful enough and is that which is at the origin of the problems, now I'm not saying I wouldn't totally rule this possibility, but I'm pretty confident that my PC must be capable of this (especially if my cell phone).

    I think my problem is to do the installation, because there was a problem during the installation on the PC...

    So that the Xbox 360 controller installed its drivers and what - not the first time I plugged on my PC, my friend offline security "do not pull the Xbox off the shelf" section of wire and an error, but the installation is complete. The controller has the same way as it does on the laptop, for example, the green ring just keeps blinking while on the laptop, he moved to the "Player 1" quarter. However, the feature (buttons and sticks) works well in games, crashing less vibrations.

    To be honest, I don't really care about the vibration and have just disabled in the game options, but I recently bought a game where I can not disable the vibration and so I can not use my controller with it. (sad face). That said, it would be nice to stop the flashing green light several times.

    I tried through Add/Remove programs but do not understand how completely remove everything if I do a fresh install.

    I don't know if there are any software is installed, or elements of the registry or drivers. But I need to remove what it installed so I can reinstall it without error.

    My title should have been no doubt: "How to completely uninstall a wired Xbox 360 controller on a Windows PC" since it is the part of the resettlement of which I have a problem with.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you! (happy face with slightly concerned Front)

  • Receiver for wireless controller Xbox 360 to PC does not

    I've had my Xbox 360 controller for at least a year now and so far it has been working perfectly. But yesterday, I decided to visit my brother and took my Xbox controller and the receiver with me. I put them in a bag with a controller leads and additional third-party, got in a car to my brother's House. When I got there, we plugged the receiver to the PC, but the receiver does not light. In fact, the computer does even not recognize that a new device has been connected. The next day, I plugged it to my computer for the first time after leaving the House of my brother and it did not work this time either.

    Here is what I tried:

    • I tried all the USB ports available and may conclude that they have nothing to do with the problem. All ports operate as it should.
    • I tried on a total of 3 computers, and none of them recognize be plugged.
    • I uninstalled and reinstalled programs Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories nothing helps.

    In addition, my computer does not recognize an unidentified device, but I don't think that it has nothing to do with the problem at hand. I say this because, in an attempt to solve this problem, I thought it was the cause of it and followed guides to fix. None of them worked, but I did one discovered that when I uninstalled the driver and rebooted the computer: at the time of the restart, I didn't have the receiver plugged, but he always found an unidentified aircraft. This leads me to believe that the unidentified device is not the receiver, but something else entirely (I don't know what this could be good). However, I'm not a genius when it comes to computers, so I could be wrong.

    As three different computers don't recognize even not be plugged in, I suspect the receiver itself may have been damaged when I put the bag with the controllers and the receiver down in the car and refused to work because of this. However, before you start investing money on two new controllers/receivers/alternatives, I want to ask if there are solutions to the problem.

    Hi and thanks for the answer.

    However, additional speculation in recent days, I managed to find the problem. I peeked inside the receiver and discovered that, as I expected, some had been damaged which prevents operation of the receiver. Since then, I made some adjustments and got the spare parts and the receiver and the controller now working again.

    Nevertheless, thank you for help. In the event of more problems with the controller, I'll be sure to have a look at these links.
