Windows 7: Xbox 360 PC wireless gaming Receiver

Hi ramborage,

It would help if you filled out your System Specs a bit more...

Also, range issues are often a hardware issue with the controller or receiver - is the device in good condition?

Cheers,

what do you need in the system specs and i will look them up for you,its brand new, i just bought it a couple of days ago

Where do you have the receiver attached?

Front of the case or rear?

It could be a 'line of sight issue', or interference from other wireless devices etc

Most essential are your Windows version (XP, Vista, 7, etc.), edition (Home Premium, Professional, etc.), and bit size (x86/32-bit, or x64/64-bit). But please see this post for instructions on retrieving the rest.

I would check out the causes and solutions in the thread below, even though it is talking about the console and not pc.
Last solution is too contact support and perhaps return the controller
