• Wrong with Internet Windows Vista wireless

  Hello

  I have a basic E-Machines with Windows Vista Edition desktop computer. I have 3 GB of ram and 160 GB of hard drive. I own a Link Sys adapter wireless 802.11 G and 2.4 GHZ. My wireless router is a Fritz! Box WLAN 7112 (I'm stationed in Germany, so he is a German router). The Fritz! Case is compatible with Sys Link as he worked very well with any other computer that I put it in place. In addition, my router is working fine with my wireless Xbox 360, Zune HD and my Windows 7 laptop.

  My problem is that sometimes my internet disconnects. Sometimes I'll completely lose internet in total, while at other times, I'll get the sign "local only". I tried to disable the DHCP BROADCAST times manually and through Microsoft, they offer an automatic fix for this problem. However, just at the point where it seems as if the problem disappeared, he returned. Now, the internet is cutting at least twice an hour. So the internet to reconnect, I have to disconnect and reconnect my Sys Link adapter. Also, I thought it would be my adapter, so I've known a good and I tried it out, but I came up with the same question.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,

  Mike Dino

• The Xbox 360 wireless controller works with PC, or what I have to buy the Xbox 360 Wireless for windows?

  I want to know if the wireless Xbox 360 controller will work with a PC if I just buy the receiver, or I have to buy the real Xbox 360 controller for windows to work?  Because I just bought the receiver only and installed, but when I try to connect it to the controller the controller just flashes and never connects.  Which leads me to believe that there is something different with the Xbox controller for windows.  Please let me know.  Thank you.

• What I need to download in order to play games on my PC with my Xbox 360 controller? It says I need a system with XP SP1 or SP2, but I have Windows 7. Any thoughts?

  • I already downloaded the patch for xbox 360 controller.
  • Windows 7 is installed, but the error message that appears indicates that I need XP SP1 or SP2.

  Hi SevOmega,

  Welcome to Microsoft 7 answers Forum!

  The patch you downloaded can support only Windows XP (SP1 or SP2) which is not compatible to your computer since your computer is installed with Win7.

  I suggest that you visit the same Web site where you downloaded the patch and download the patch that is suitable for Win7 and check.

  If the problem persists, I suggest you contact Xbox support for further assistance:

• 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:

  How can I get my xbox 360 controller to work with my computer?... I can't even recognize the hardware? Im running Vista 64 bit on a quad core rig any help would be appreciated... Thank you

  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.

  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.

• The headset audio USB deforms after initially connect xbox 360 controller for windows

  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. I have a headset Audio USB of Dynex Mono, and whenever I try to use the microphone, the sound comes out distorted. 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.

  I have Windows XP Home SP3.

  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):

  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.

• Publisher cannot connect XBOX 360 controller wireless receiver PC on Windows 7.

  I can't connect a XBOX 360 controller to my PC with the receiver wireless on Windows 7 (64-bit). I have correctly installed the driver, and the wireless receiver is recognized by the PC. The problem occurs when I try to connect the controller to the receiver, as do not connect or recognize each other. I press the Connect button on the receiver, then the light starts flashing. I then press and hold the connection button on my controller, which makes the quadrants "search for", but they quickly cease, and instead assign a specific quadrant, all quadrants begin to Flash instead, as before. Nothing seems to work, I have tried to unplug all other USB devices and wireless, connecting the receiver to different USB ports and change the batteries. What should I do now?

• 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.
