Xbox 360 Wireless Controller and Windows RT (Surface)

Hello

I have a Microsoft Surface and would like to try my game controller Xbox 360 Wireless with it that says Microsoft is compatible it seeks here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win8/CompatCenter/Home).

I have a play and a cordon of charge I Plug and results in the Xbox controller picked up like "Controller wireless Xbox 360 via Play & Charge Kit" at devices however I don't seem to be able to use the controller to play all games (3D Rocket Riot and Skiddy the slippery Puzzle are the only ones I've tried so far that mention Xbox controllers support).

The controller plugged and pressing the Guide (the middle one), the buttons turns green flash just like its looking for something but do not pick up anything.

So the big question...

What I am doing wrong?

I have not tried the controller wireless Xbox 360 on the Surface, but I know that even for general computing, you need a receiver of the controller wireless Xbox 360, not only play & Charge Kit: this device, exactly as his name, cannot charge your controller, and can't do anything else, for example, connect the controller to any other computer , or whatever.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • for windows Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

    I tried to find an answer to my question on the wireless controller, I bought today. I searched for more than three hours. Anyway, I am not sure if the controller is connected or not. All by checking the Device Manager, it says that the drive controller works properly. However, I don't see any way of setting properties, the device on my desk and or connection to my games, now, I tried to use the controller for Age of Empires. And nothing happens. I use Win 7 32 bit. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, both the disk, or download it. Nothing seems to work. I also tried to download directions to the controller, but it only downloads the PDF in Chinese. Even though I listed English. I wish we could get answers to such problems without all the hassle. I was told before the purchase of this controller, it would work very well and I could used to play my games on my computer. But it's not working. My next step is to send it back. And go back to using my mouse to play games.

    Usually games that use keyboards to play should support xbox controller, such as the one that you drive a car, fighting, games, etc.

    A good place to start is:

    Download some free or demo games such as Microsoft Fly and try to see if you can set it with your controller.

  • Computer Xbox 360 Media Extender and Windows 7 do not 'see' each other

    I had been successfully streaming from my PC content (32-bit) of Windows 7 to my XBox 360 (60 GB HD) since late 2009.  They are connected by Ethernet 100 Mbit/s via a 100 Mbps 3Com switch unmanaged and a Siemens ADSL gateway/router with a switch to 4 ports.  I use not media Extender functionality every day.  Its more like I use it for a week (after I have come back from vacation and want to see my photos and videos), so I use it for about 2-3 months.  Everything I do is press the green button on my remote to turn on the XBox and connect to Windows 7 Media Center.  I don't even bother to turn on my PC like the XBox, it wakes up for me (love it!)

    I modified it used successfully in mid-December 2010, but when I tried to use it again on 28 Dec XBox stated that he could not find the Windows Media Center computer.  I ran the diagnostics of XBox with no luck.  The XBox can detect and connect to my laptop (also under Windows 7 and is connected via WiFi), but it does not detect my PC.

    On my PC, the Extender both in the window "Devices and printers", in Media Center, presented with an exclamation icon and a message saying that the Extender is set up but can not be found.

    The only thing I changed on my PC since the last time the Extender has worked:

    (1) I removed the password on my user account

    (2) I turned off password protected sharing

    I noticed that some security updates have been implemented as well.

    Even if my laptop (that the XBox can still detect) was already configured with no user password and no password protected sharing, I reversed manually these settings on my PC.  This did not help.

    I tried an article that describes the removal of the certificate and add the Extender - no change.

    I tried to disable the firewall of Windows (the only firewall installed on my computer) and Microsoft Security Essentials, as long as my agent for LogMeIn - no change.

    Fortunately, I still had a restoration which dates back to the changed Extender worked, and restored at this point.  The Extender has worked once more... for a few weeks.  I thought that the problem would be back because I didn't really know what caused it in the first place.

    When the problem is back, I read a lot of articles, including those on this forum.  Some suggest specific problems with Asus computers equipped with software installed at the factory, creating a problem, or fingerprint scanners or memberships of domain.  None of them apply to me.  My PC worked loyally with the XBox as I first put in place in late 2009.

    So I went more drastic.  Two weeks ago, I rebuilt the PC from scratch.  I have not yet installed as much software as it was originally - just the basics like Office, Acrobat Reader, Picasa, iTunes, Java, Flash, Google Earth and LogMeIn...  Of course the Extender reworked... twice.  The next time I tried to use it, it wouldn't.

    I tried several restore points - this time, none of them brought the feature.

    Of course, thanks to all this the XBox can still detect my laptop which has also received updates from the Windows Update service (if only my laptop could host all of my pictures and videos...).  My laptop also has the same software, including the firewall of Windows, Microsoft Security Essentials, LogMeIn, etc...)

    This makes me think of something on the Windows 7 PC is blocking incoming or outgoing (or both) types of communication to the XBox.  What kind of diagnostic tools could use to figure out what is the cause.  If I have to sniff the network, what I'm looking for?

    I have reviewed the issue of abandonment and just buying a NAS that supports the XBox Media Extender, but:

    (a) none of the products in my price range offer the features AND performance, I want to

    (b) why should I have to?  He worked for nearly a year, and this feature must be a utility "solid."

    Thank you...

    Hi Umesh,

    Thank you for you answer.  I had already read the article you recommended, but I saw her again (especially step 3) to ensure that I had done everything I could.  There is no recommendation in this article that applied to me, or had already been tried.

    I took another look on my laptop that the 360 can detect and noticed that he was not part of a homegroup, but offered to join the homegroup organized by my Media Center PC.  I was surprised because before the reconstruction and after reconstruction, I don't remember setting up a homegroup.  Of course a homegroup has been partially install (he said my I had no libraries selected for sharing).

    I left the homegroup, and this restored PC allows my Media Center to 'see' the XBox 360 media extender.  My problem is solved (for now).

  • 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.  :)

  • 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?
