Gamestop XBOX 360 wired controller game driver?

I bought an XBOX 360 wired controller from gamestop, and they said that I could plug it into both my xbox and my computer. I’ve plugged it into my computer, but all the center button does is light up green for a second. It says that the driver wasn’t able to be installed. I plug it in for the second time, and nothing shows up but the green light for a couple seconds.When I try and play a game, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

You can get the drivers from here http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/xbox-360-controller-for-windows/C8G-00004#support under the support section.

Can a regular Xbox 360 Controller work on a computer with the proper driver installed?

I was wondering, if there was anyone who was able to get a regular Xbox 360 controller to run on a PC with an available driver that someone may have created.

Xboxer answers:

Yes.
“Windows compatibility

Many Xbox 360 accessories are compatible with a Windows (XP or newer) based PC. Some examples are; the wired/wireless controller, the wired headset (via a controller), the wireless headset and the Live Vision camera. However, despite marketing by Microsoft claiming otherwise, the much anticipated Chatpad accessory for the standard Xbox 360 controller is not Windows compatible.”

When i use XBox controller with USB plug adapter to my PC, how do i fix the XBCD driver to work correctly?

I can get everything to work fine for one game. My other game does not work worth a flip. but, every so often, my computer completely loses the controller. all of a sudden, if you were to go to device manager and look at the controller, the driver stops working and/or/during in the XBCD program, the “gamepad” vanishes as well. something is causing it to lose signal with the computer. i dont think it is a short in the cable because both me and a friend are doing the same thing and we have had success and then out of the blue, it stops working. for instance, i could only get it to work for about 30 minutes- 45 minutes today, then it went out. i messed with it quite a bit, it came on and off a few times, then dead for a long time. after that, its been back on for about 3 hours now. i am hoping it will stay up and running this time but not sure.

basically, i was wondering if anyone has had this problem, and if so have you been able to fix it, and how did you go about doing this?

You should get a free xbox 360 from this site instead of buying retail

Xboxer answers:

This page should help. I gave you the link to the front page of this section since you didn’t specify what OS you’re running on your PC. Good luck!
