That's basically the same instructions as what I've tried. And I don't own a plug and play, and I'd rather not buy one unless I KNOW that it'll fix the issue.

that wont fix your issue if your controller is genuine as it uses the rf signal that only the proprietary receiver puts out. is your controller fake too?

The controller (I believe) Is real. It has the authentic Microsoft/Xbox holographic sticker on the battery bay. It came from the Halo 4 edition Xbox, and I got it off of eBay.

its real

Ok, that's what I thought.

Is there anyone (who knows what they're doing) who could get on a skype text chat with me to help me fix it faster?

you still there and wanting to do text chat?

How about tomorrow?

I still need assistance, if anyone knows how to fix my issue.

Try reinstalling the drivers, use a different USB port if you have one. I am lucky I have a clone receiver and an Original receiver and don't have issues with it installing

If that don't work, find an Original is all you can do.
