What device are you plugging in? You will need drivers for it!!

what do you mean?

Download and run Microsoft USB Fixit tool and check whether it resolves your problem.

EDIT: Keep your device plugged in when you run it.

still nothing =/

Check your controller in another PC and see whether it works.

 

[The2nd]

i don't have another pc to try it on =/

That makes it difficult to diagnose whether the problem is with the Controller or your PC.

Try to get hold of a friend who has a PC or you can take it to any PC vendor and check it there.

In the meanwhile do other USB devices work on the same port? Better if it is an USB external HDD that requires some power from the USB port.

Did you try plugging the Controller to different ports on your PC?

 

[The2nd]

Yeah other usb devices work in all the ports and yeah i've tried plugging it in other ports and just
another thing i don't know if it has some thing to do with it or not but i'm not 100% sure but i think that
it's because in the port it was before is broken and it might of been in the port while it was broken.

That makes it all the more pertinent that you check the controller in another PC and clear it - unless of course others come up with their ideas on how to deal with this problem otherwise.

 

[The2nd]

so what do i do if it does work in another pc or if it doesn't?

what do you mean?

drivers are software that tell windows 7 how to interact with a specific peripheral. Without drivers it cannot interact with them.

I'm guessing because it's a bit unclear from the OP, but the "usb controller" is a usb game controller right?

Maybe your game controller came with a CD, otherwise check the manufacturer website and/or post the device's model here so we can help finding them.

You need to go to the manufacturer's website for the device you are trying to plug in to it, and find drivers. Another option could be to plug it in and then run Windows Update.
