Major problem!

As of yesterday my xbox 360 reciever was fine and showed in devices and hardware. today it says it has been disabled beceause it had a problem? ,unfortunately it wont show so i cant use a trouble shooter ,tried reinstalling controller software ,no good, windows update says the driver was installed ok , anyone else had this prob and is there a fix. i need my Wolfenstein fix .

Hi, try doing a system restore and restore your computer to 2-3 prior.

Thanks dinesh , i already did a restore ,however i tried again going further back . no good

Maybe, another method would be to use your Win 7, disc and perform the repair function.
Did you try using system image, to rollback to an earlier time?

ok , i din't make it clear with 1st post its xbox 360 wireless controller reciever that has stopped . as i said it was fine yesterday. how would repair from disc help. for some reason it was disabled because a problem had been detected! is there any way to find out what the problem was

Update, i tried a reinstall no good either, it may have been because i left the controller reciever plugged in , may have to reinstall with it unplugged however wont the updates copy over in an upgrade reinstall, making it pointless to reinstall. the last thing i want to do is a clean install as it seems like using a slegehammer to crack a nut!

update . it would seem the reciever is knackered i tried it in a neighbours laptop and it didnt register at all so we think it is bust, never mind buy a new one i guess,
thanks for your input folks :)

Thanks for the advice. i kinda thought i would get a few more viewers with the title.
what would you suggest as an alternate .
