Problem:
When I plug in the xbox 360 wireless receiver the drivers will not load. The light on the device is blinking and windows recognizes it as an Unkown USB device.
I have tried loading the drivers straight from Microsoft and have tried manually installing them. I get an error stating The device cannot start (error code 10).
the package itself does state that it is windows 7 compatable as does the manufacture's website
At this point I'm thinking it might be because im running 64 and not 32bit...
any help of guidance will be greatly appreciated!!
I picked each one of them to see if it works ... It didn't do it .. I still haven't been able to find a way make it work ... yesterday i uninstalled the drivers and plugged the wireless receiver .. it found the drivers online and worked untill i unplugged it ... it just wouldn't connect again (wouldn't stop blinking .. and the device manager said unknown device ? .. tried installing the drivers and it failed again).. I was able to played skyrim when it was plugged ... I believe it is a lack of enough power problem (read somewhere) ... I ordered a externally powered usb hub ... haven't tried it yet ...
it was connected to the laptop itself ... nothing was connected to the laptop ... all the usb ports are available .. i have ordered a usb hub and i haven't tried it yet (it just came in today and i am at work) ...
it didn't work (external usb hub) ... I cannot determine the cause of this issue ... It could be the usb (of the device) or the cable (but the device is blinking ?) Can it be that the fuse was blownout ? it shouldn't blink right ? ...
I had ordered another wireless receiver and it is working fine ... it just downloaded the drivers right after i plugged it and it works when i plugged it multiple times (i wanted to see if it was consistent) .. i wanted to see if the problem is with the controller (maybe) .. it didn't connect with the receiver right away .. so, i connected it through plug and charge cable and it downloaded the drivers for the controller and plug & charge .. after that it was able to connect with the receiver (it was consistent .. i tried it multiple times .. and even played skyrim for sometime) ..
