Xbox 360 controller for PC - Most bizarre problem
hello guys.
this problem is happening on a windows XP system
but i trust the good people here to try and help me.
a friend of mine bought a new xbox 360 controller for PC.
he attached it to a computer running win xp sp3,
and ran the installation from cd.
everything went fine, but the controller doesn't sync with the receiver.
we tested it on a win 7 system and on another xp system, worked just fine.
the problem is, when i press on the sync button on the controller, the light starts to spin
then i press on the sync button on the receiver, the controller light stop spinning and starts flashing.
when i take the receiver out of the computer and plug it back in, the controller turns off! (WTF?)
what we tried so far:
endless re installation of the driver.
installation of older software (1.1 instead of 1.2)
removed all usb hubs, used usbdeview to delete usb history,
updated chipset
removed all startup items and non ms services (except the xbox one's)
nothing helps.
