Hi,


I have been using the wireless 360 controller for my PC for a few years without any real problems.

However, I heard that a 360 WIRED controller is just a plug and play with Windows7 64bit - so I bought one to try it out. However my PC doesn't seem to recognise it at all. I have plugged it in to a USB port and the green lights on the controller just keep flashing.

I have also downloaded drivers from the MS website and reinstalled quite a few times.

Nothing.........does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any help.
 
^May I ask a question? 360 wireless for the PC is also plug&play with W7 64bit. Why did you need for a wired one?

I just plugged mine in, and it worked (Win 7 64 bit). The green light does flash all the time, I don't think that is indicative of a failure.

Open PES's settinge.exe, and you should see the controller in the drop down box. Once you select it there, it should work in game.

Because £100 a year for batteries is not fun?

Flashing lights seems like it's trying to connect. The controller is probably fine, but your computer won't let it, so it must be some driver issue. Open Device Manager (Right-click My Computer > Properties > Device Manager) and see if there are any yellow exclamations in the "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows".

I have a wired 360 controller and it works on W7 64-bit. No flashing lights or anything.

Try this:
I got an xbox 360 wireless receiver for windows. I have Windows Vista
Ultimate 64-bit. When I plugged the receiver in, windows couldn't find a
driver. So I installed the driver software from the CD that came with
it, but I still had an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager. So I tried
the latest one from the Microsoft Site (version 1.20.146.0). Still the
same. At this point I also tried pairing my controller with me receiver,
but it would just have a connection error and flash constantly. I tried
a number of methods to update the driver using the files I downloaded
from the above Microsoft site, to no avail. My Vista 64 just wouldn't
recognize the driver files. So here is the exact process that worked for
me:
Uninstall any drivers you've tried to install already - go to device
manager and uninstall the driver for the "unknown device" (which is just
uninstalling the device really, seeing there is no driver) and also
uninstall any driver software through control panel. LEAVE THE DEVICE
PLUGGED IN.
Restart PC.
Download and install the latest driver from the Microsoft Site.
Restart PC.
Go to device manager - you'll notice it still shows up as an unknown
device. Right click on it and go Update Driver.
Click "Browse my vomputer for software".
Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
The list will take a while to load. Select Microsoft, then on the right,
select Xbox Wireless Receiver for Windows (there might be multiple
versions, go with what looks like the most recent one - mine was
2.1.0.1349) and click next. It will warn you about possible
incompatibility, install it anyway.
It will ask you to restart. Do it.
Once restarted, go to device manager and you should notice a new slot -
"Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class", and under it, "Xbox 360
Wireless Receiver for Windows". Yay!
Now try pairing your controller with the receiver. Click the button on
the receiver, then hold the big xbox button on the controller until it
turns on and press the very small "connect" button on the forward side
of the controller (the side with the triggers), while the receiver light
is still flashing. Your controller light should spin for a fraction of a
second and then Sync up and the first quadrant should stay lit. Yay! (if
not, some people have had success by unplugging their USB devices and
restarting and plugging in just the receiver first, then it syncs, then
try their other USB devices again).
