Used to synchronize wireless xbox 360 controller for windows

When I try to sync my controller wireless receiver for windows, the guide button light moving in a circle for a bit and the light on the receiver flashes, then guide button on the controller just flashes while the receiver is solid.  I am running windows XPI tested on two other computers (also XP) and my 360, it syncs very well, and the quadrant 1player lights.

I installed the software supplied with the controller.
I tried all the usb ports on my computer.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times.
I have a wireless mouse, and I tried to unplug and turn it off.
I moved the receiver away from all other objects.

I am running out of ideas and don't know why it won't work.  Can anyone help?

  • Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows all of a sudden not connect into any USB port

    Original title: Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows issue.

    Hi, I bought this back in 2008 and it has been flawless since today... I tried to use it and the controller is unable to connect to the receiver.

    There is no light on the receiver, even when I plug it into a different USB port there is still nothing... I even tried another computer. I assume the receiver is nakered?. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    If the receiver is so broken, can I buy this receiver on its own and that it will be compatible with my wireless controller Xbox 360 instead of having to buy another expensive controller...

    Thank you very much.

  • Black wired xbox 360 controller for windows flashes and freezes games

    I installed the xbox 360 accessories 1.2, I plugged my black Xbox 360 wired controller for windows on the computer. I let it install its drivers. The ring of light continues to blink all the time, no matter how many times I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program and drivers, it continues to Flash, I even looked for updates for the drivers. When I start a game it also works very well unless I have pull triggers or go at my card or try to pick a lock. (the game is skyrim) It freezes whenever I have try them and I unplug the controller and it thaws and if I plug it back in, it does the same thing again. I tested the controller on a real xbox 360 (works fine), but it doesn't seem to work on my pc. Any help please, but serious answers only.

    I also changed the default controllers controls and set left lean & thin right to left analog stick left/right as PRIMARY & I updated lean left & lean right D - pad left/right as SECONDARY controls.

    Hi Zxcvbnma,

    ·         Is the specific issue with only Need for Speed or does happen with other games as well?

    If the problem is specific only with Need for Speed, you can try to uninstall the game and reinstall the game and check if it works fine without any problems.

    I also suggest that you uninstall Xbox 360 controller drivers and reinstall the drivers that could help you solve the problem.

    Check the settings of the game. You can also connect the controller to the other computer and use it and check if the problem still persists.

    Hello world.

    It seems that many people (including me, now) start meeting audio distortion after they plug a Xbox 360 controller for windows on their computer for the first time.

Also, when I try to use the earphone to listen to whatever it is that the audio is also flawed.

    Did anyone here know what I can do, so I can get the controller and the helmet the two working together in a computer? The headset works fine in another computer.

    The Xbox controller draw right on the edge for a USB port, putting pressure on all of the USB bus, especially if there are other USB devices. If you get an external USB powered hub to add to your system and plug the controller, you will solve your problem.

    I had the same problem with my Creative Labs USB sound card and the Xbox controller at the same time. I picked up a Zonet similar to this (different brand):

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182168

    I plug my controller, keyboard, and mouse dongle in the hub and plug my sound card directly into one of the ports on the back of the PC. Problem solved! I got no sound since problem.

    Hello AxeMankd,

    I have the 360 controller and it works with all the games that are supported controls for controllers.  Most recent games have even profiles of controller for the 360 controller.  The only game that I wasn't able to use it with was the Call of Duty 4, but who were able to evolve with an update on the side of the games.  There has been some problems with some games and wireless controller but not the wired version.  It was a driver problem which is probably not a factor now.  I have not tested version wireless with my PC because I have not bought the wireless PC part, but I don't have two types of controller.

    Happy fragging I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of _ and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

  • Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller For Windows (wired connection) Hardware questions

    Hello, I bought the controller the year last of the Thailand, and I currently live in Bangladesh. It was greater at all times and served me well until today, it started acting weird, all of a sudden.
    It is not a problem of driver for it, but it must be done with the controller itself. See, when the wire is same slightly shifted, the controller disconnects. It's probably something wrong with the wire, correct? But, what do I do now? I can't play anything or use the controller. It works, but the part of the wire where it connects to the controller seems very fragile and disconnects to the slightest budge. Please, any help is appreciated! :(

  • Xbox 360 controller for windows no longer works

    Hi all, I am new to the community so I hope I put this in the right section.

    Basically, I got my Wired 360 for a few years now, and after works perfectly well for all this time the controller has stopped working. When I plug in my laptop, lights flash 1 to 4 times to less than a second and then nothing. When looking online I was not able to find anything on this issue stating the specific lights temporarily.

    I tried to reinstall the drivers for it but it does not work, and the controller does not appear in either Device Manager. I can't check if it works on my xbox until Saturday, but I was hoping that someone here knows of this problem and has a solution for him.

  • I can't use the Xbox 360 controller for condemned Criminal Origins

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • I can't using a wired Xbox 360 controller as a joystick for the origins of felons game.
    • I looked online for a solution and close using joy to key. I could map each button and it was totally functional, but I was still unable to turn or to consider, if I could walk because I had mapped the left analog stick for market controls. I tried to change the settings for the joystick in the game, but they are not what I noticed at all.
    • the game recognize at least some controller, when the mapping in the keyboard settings, it recognizes the buttons, but not the triggers or the analog sticks.
    • I tried to update my drivers, I tried different usbs and always made sure that it was connected, all of the simple things.
    • I really want to play this game, and I'll be really disappointed if I have to use the keyboard and the mouse to do it, I'm not comfortable at all to aid in a fps game.

    Thanks for your help!

    but in fact I ended up understanding.

    apparently my controller was defaulting to an old driver or the wrong driver or something, so the game incorrectly recognizes it. at least partially wrong.

    the old, updated, deleted totally worked! for the most part, had yet to use joy to key to map triggers, and the d - pad is recognized as a button, instead of four separate.
