• 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.

• Someone there suggested sites I can download PC games that are compatible with an Xbox 360 controller.

  I want to try the game on my PC and or laptop before buy you not on my Xbox 360. I'm having a very hard time finding anything. I know that I can try the game on my Xbox for free, but I don't know if the game works with the Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless controller, on both the Xbox and my PC.

  It has nothing to with such sites to download, and for several years (since the beginning of "Games for Windows") the XBOX controller has (unfortunately for some use that do not use the XBOX controller) the configuration of the default controller for the most part, or at least, many games.

  A quick search shows-
  Why the XBOX controller is not compatible with some games (pre monopoly$ oft games for windows for the most part).
  http://www.giantbomb.com/Xbox-360-controller-support-for-PC/92-2465/
  I noticed that some XBOX controllers are advertised as being a PC version. This may be due to the version of PC with different software than the controller for XBOX
  http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/Xbox-360-controller-for-Windows

  A bit of XBOX to the propaganda of the PC-
  http://www.xboxcontrollerforpc.NET/

  What really boils down to is change the key assignments to suit you via options settings for games 'control' or make a profile using the software supplied with the controller.
  Controllers that have their own Win7 compatible profiling software will work with any game. It's just a matter of a few minutes to assign buttons for the commands.
  Logitech controllers will work with any PC game like him having Xinput and support a direct entry (monopoly$ oft's foray into PC games made a little less friendly user with some games).

  I know you probably are used to the XBOX controller and can save money.
  no controller for FPS and action games, beats a mouse and a keyboard for accuracy.
  Keyboards are also best for RPG and other games with many orders.
  Personally, I never liked using a keyboard, so I use the command style - Logitech G13 is the
  better yet. The Belkin Nostromo n52 and n52te, are good for. It is more comfortable to have the keys online, and the control stick on the G13 works well also.

  If you are looking for simple plug-and-play gaming console is the best option of game. PC offers more versatility for those who don't mind tweaking.

  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.

• Microsoft xbox 360 controller for windows problem with NFS

  Hi, I brought yesterday Microsoft xbox 360 controller for windows. I installed and the end driver. The problem is that when I play NFS Most Wanted & NFS Carbon, cars automatically starts left thin when I accelerate? Why is - this problem to occur, and what is the solution?

  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.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• My Xbox 360 controller is no longer recognized by my computer Windows XP.

  Original title: Xbox 360 wired controller connection problem

  OS: Windows XP SP3

  When I plug the controller into one of the USB ports on my computer, I don't get the usual noise of (lowbeep-highbeep) USB connection, but instead, I get 3 low beeps in quick succession. I tried the front ports as well as each of the rear ports.

  The thin controller in the XBOX 360 and no other USB device works problems of connection. Tested with my iPod, phone, and the mouse. So I'm guessing that excludes a supply problem.

  When I uninstall Manager devices (section Xbox 360) devices, then plug it in again, I have same 3 beeps and a bubble telling me that a problem has occurred to install my new hardware, etc.

  After this first bubble of 'problem' I get no warning at any time after that I plug, just 3 beeps and a non-working controller.

  In addition, in Device Manager, I get this code:
  The driver for this device is may be corrupted, or your system may be low on memory or other resources. (Code 3)

  I solved the problem.

  > Device Manager

  Unfortunately, this won't work.  The Play and Charge kit connects only up to the actual battery.  Still, the controller connects more wireless.

  You would need a wired Xbox 360 controller or Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming receiver that connects to your wireless controller existing.

  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.
