  • Xbox 360 Wired Controller is not working with Windows 7.

    Not to long ago I was playing Halo 2 PC using my wired Xbox 360 Controller. All of a sudden my computer (which uses Windows 7) decides not to recognize it. Every time I plug in the controller in now it comes up as "Unknown Device". I have not changed anything,
    I mean anything. Yes I have tried all methods of fixing the problem but they do not work.  If someone knows a sure fine way to get the controller working again it would be much appreciated.

    I 'm using a wired Gamestop Xbox 360 controller and I got mine to work using these steps. Good luck.
    If you already have the software installed, go to programs and features and uninstall Microsoft XBOX 360 Accessories 1.2.
    1) Download the drivers from
    http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming
    2) Choose Gaming >
    Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don’t run the drivers. 
    Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
    3) Right click the
    Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
    4) Right click the shortcut you created.
    Select properties.
    5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode"
    ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
    6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
    7) With your controller plugged in go to
    Device Manager.  You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
    Continue only if you don’t see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
    8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
    9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
    10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
    Ignore the warning.
    Should work now.

  • Will an Xbox 360 Wired Controller Work with an iMac G5?

    I was just wondering, because my friend got it to work with his new iMac (the current one). If it does, does anyone know how to set it up?
    Please reply.
    Thanks.

    This should do the trick.

  • Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

    I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest).  I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work.  (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
    When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process:  IP Address.  I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for  DHCP Server enabled).
    I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that.  I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
    Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible?  If so, what am I missing here?  I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
    Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer!  I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
    Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

    I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

  • [SOLVED] Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, how to make it work?

    How can I get this to work under Arch? the controller gets detected at /dev/input/js0 and I if cat the file I get a bunch of symbols (which I read that means it works).

    The light on the controller keeps blinking but thats normal also.

    Already read that but didn't help. However I found the problem. Controller wouldn't sync with the wireless receiver. I ended up using xboxdrv userspace driver and after sync it worked like a charm, even the xbox light stops blinking and stays fixed on the player 1
    thanks for the help

  • Xbox 360 Wireless Control not working in W7 x64

    Hey all,
    I have read some topics in here about issues on a Xbox 360 Wireless Control connection in Windows 7 x64 (I'm on a Dell Inspiron n5110, 6gb ram, intel core i5). Thing is, in difference to all those threads, in my devices list there ain't any "unrecognized
    devices" nor anything, so all the solutions listed don't work for me.
    What I have done:
    1) Installed the Accesories 1.2 for Windows 7 x64
    2) Plugged the receiver to my usb (it got detected by windows, recognized and listed properly in the devices and printers, as a wireless receiver)
    3) Turned the controller on, hitted the sync button on the receiver, then on the control... and I get a eternal green blink around the Xbox button, which never ends nor stays in one of the quadrants. 
    As I don't see nothing like "unidentified device" in the device admin, I simply can't use the "update drivers" stuff. What can I do, what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if the issue is resolved:
    1. Verify that the accessory is an officially licensed Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
    2. Examine or replace the batteries to make sure that you have fully charged the  batteries in the Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
    3. Move the receiver away from other devices that could interfere with the wireless communication between the receiver and the Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
    Note: Devices such as wireless routers, cordless telephones, and microwave ovens can generate wireless interference.
    4. If you are using a wireless keyboard or mouse, disconnect the keyboard or mouse and reconnect the the wireless gaming receiver. Then try reconnecting your Xbox 360 wireless device to the PC.
    Also, you may try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for controller in device manager and check if this helps.
    If the problem persists, then please contact Xbox support for further assistance. Here’s the link:

  • Time Capsule+ Xbox 360 wired connection

    I am looking to pick up a Time Capsule to replace my airport express as my main router. I would like to plug in my Xbox 360 to one of the ethernet ports on the back of the time capsule, while still having a wireless network for my computers.
    Are there any issues that I need to be aware of? Being that it is a "standard" router in a sense I would hope that everything likes to shake hands with each other.

    Works fine.
    Xbox360 although may not connect to TC. Reason WPA security.
    Work around> connect Express wired to TC set express to create its own network>Xbox360 will connect to Express wireless network fine including Live.

  • Slow Xbox 360 Wired Connection Speed

    My Xbox 360 Elite console is connected to my home network using a wired connection, but it has a slower speed (gathered using tests on this website) than all of the wireless devices connected to the network. The console achieves about 3 mbps, which is more than 3x slower than what all the wireless devices can achieve.
    Here is a basic network map:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                         |
                                                         v
                                                   Xbox 360
    All wired devices have been labelled
    All wireless devices are connected to either router
    The TV cannot be tested as it does not have an Internet browser
    Can anyone explain why the console achieves a much lower speed than the wireless devices? If so, can a solution be provided?
    Thank you.

    I forgot to mention I recently changed the wiring of the network.
    Old wiring:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router
                                               |                     |
                                               v                     v
                                         Xbox 360              TV
    New & current wiring:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                         |
                                                         v
                                                   Xbox 360
    The old wiring made the Xbox 360 download at ~300 kbps and not able to stream videos (neither could the TV). I don't understand why the change of wiring increased the speed so much.

  • WRT54G version 5 and Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to the latest firmware since my Xbox 360 Wireless adapter can't connect to my router. I still have the same problem and can't figure it out. I read some of the other posts, and opened up the correct ports in my router 88 & 3074. I even disabled wireless security and I still can't connect.
    My wireless adapter is a solid red. I can connect just fine with a wired network cable. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try?
    It's a brand new Xbox too and there shouldn't be any problems with it. 

    Make sure the wireless settings are configured correctly. Also check with the adapter.

  • Wired Ethernet Quit Working

    I am running an HP laptop with Windows 8.1. For the past year or so I have used the wired connection without issue. The other day I get home from work to realize I have no network connection. As I went through troubleshooting steps I realized that there
    is no wired Ethernet adapter in the device manager. All I see is this:
    When I enable "show hidden devices" This is what I see: 
    There just doesn't seem to be a wired adapter even recognized by Windows, flat out vanished! The wireless works just fine, however I would really rather use the wired connection for a lot of what I do. Some of the troubleshooting steps I have done so far:
    1. run sfc /scannow
    2. Run chkdsk
    3. Ran a Windows Repair
    4. Restored Windows using the restore partition
    5. Found the manufacturer ethernet drivers and installed them hoping the adapter would show up
    I'm starting to think that it may be a hardware issue, I've just never seen an integrated network adapter fail without other motherboard issues.Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. There are no "unknown devices" in device manager

    don't have bluetooth, although I wouldn't understand why that would cause a problem suddenly, although we are talking about Windows here!
    Some recent updates seem to have hit Bluetooth users and made it completely disappear too.  For one of those incidents I suggested a WMIC query.  Maybe a similar query would find something for you.
    Unfortunately I don't have LAN ports on my Surface but on W10TP there apparently is at least one but no Bluetooth (that I can find) and (strangely?) this works on it:
    wmic.exe sysdriver where (DisplayName like "%Blue%") list brief
    I'll have to try to figure out how to identify whatever it is that W10TP thinks it has.  BTW this will help me too because I am still not connected with it at all.   ; )
    Oh.  sysdriver is not the right "alias".  This works too but isn't showing me the "adapter"
    wmic.exe sysdriver where (DisplayName like "%Netw%") list brief
    It's  nic, I think
    wmic.exe nic list brief
    and then I can get full details for the one I want with
    C:\>wmic.exe nic where (DeviceID="0") list full /format:list
    There are some Error and Status fields seen that way.

  • Xbox 360 controller not working

    I plug in the controller, lights up for a sec, then nothing. I've read MANY similar problems, but they are all from a couple years back and none of those solutions work now. I am using an official Xbox 360 wired controller to play Boarderlands 2, which I bought from the Mac App store and claims to support that controller. Please help. Thanks.

  • Wired xbox 360 controller used for PC

    I have tried literally everything I can think of, I searched it, and a resounding solution were these steps:
    1) Download the drivers from "Can't post links yet"
    2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don't run the drivers.  Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
    3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
    4) Right click the shortcut you created. Select properties. 
    5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode" ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
    6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
    7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager.  You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.

    10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
    I have tried the steps in order countless times. tried many different compatability modes, and to no avail am I able to get the "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class" to show up. so I continue through the next 3 steps (8-10) and
    the option listed in step 10 is not available. and I have been trying to fix this since 7:00 AM this morning.....

  • Xbox wired controller not dectected.

    Hi All,
    I have been attempting to use my orignal xbox 360 wired controller with LabVIEW 2011(32-bit).
    Windows7 (64-bit) did its thing and installed the drivers automatically. I can acccess all the functions using the the device manager.
    After looking at numerous examples, the joystick query.vi refuses to detect the controller.
    After a lot of digging, I see people have had driver conflict issues. Sadly, I wouldn't know where to begin with that sort of stuff.
    Anyone run into a similar problem? Should I just cut my loses and by another (different brand) of controller?
    Cheers
    K

    Hi,
    Could you provide a little more information. Can you provide the joystick vi? Also try and download the driver directly from Microsoft and see if that works.

  • Unreal Tournament 2004 + XBOX 360 controller

    So, here it the thing ...
    I have a MacBook with 1GB RAM.
    I recently purchased Unreal Tournament 2004 (UT2004) and I have the most recent patch.
    To control said game, I am using an XBOX 360 wired controller and the (generally) excellent driver found here.
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/29122
    The thing is: It does not (entirely) work with UT2004!
    It works beautifully with any emulators, so I know that the driver "works." I can even see what the buttons map to (i.e. ... D-Pad UP = Button 12, Left Analog UP/Down = Y-Axis, etc...). I just cannot figure out how to get UT to accept this information. The Left Analog does work, which means that I know the game can recognize the controller.
    When I go to the controller setup in UT, it does not seem to want to recognize the controller though, despite the fact that the Left Analog IS working!
    I know that this is kind of a fringe problem, but any help would be great.
