Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless receiver issues
I have windows 7 home premium, my PC is: HP Pavilion s5700.
My problem is that when I try to use the installation disc (the small one) there doesn't seem to be a proper installation, the Wizard Setup doesnt come up even though it has technically been installed (i clicked on the file and installed parts myself), because it's there on the desktop: 'Microsoft 360 Accessory Status.' And when i click on it, the icon appears that shows if the controllers synced, but the controller wont sync at all - when i press the receiver button and the controller sync button at the same time, they both just keep flashing - i think because it is not installing right! Probably some sort of driver error?
The Usb is plugged in and the green receiver light on the small device is on and everything, it just wont sync at all and it really looks like there was some installation problem. I tried to call someone from xbox but they were pretty clueless.
I've tried all the troubleshooting things like trying to sync it away from any appliances, and making sure the batteries are full, i've even tried using another controller. It's definitely an official device from microsoft and everything.
Thanks for any advice on how to fix this - sorry if this post isn't as informative as it should be as well. Hopefully someone knows what to do if this is a common thing.
