Did you first install the drivers for Windows 7 x64 bit

You will find them in this post

http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/64905-xbox-360-pc-wireless-gaming-receiver-6.html#post1206897

Then follow the instructions to update the 'Microsoft Common controller for Windows Class'

Im having the same problem with the receiver not connecting to the controller but when i try the fix Walker said on the first page i cant see Windows Common Controller for Window Class in the menu that comes up. I still have a small disk that came with the receiver but it seems like it does nothing. My specs are: Intel Core 2 CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz, 2.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT. Please help i have tryed for 2 days now and plugged it into the front, the back, removed all wireless devices around me from the room, and just go the receiver about 3 days ago. Please help

Solution

I struggled with this for a while - then found a solution:

I've got Win 7 x64 and a Chinese knock-off wireless receiver.

Get ready by downloading and installing the xbox drivers from Microsoft (as mentioned earlier) but also use WinRar to extract the contents of Xbox360_64Eng.exe

Then follow the instructions written previously...

• Browse My Computer for driver software
• Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
• Show All Devices
• Have Disk...
• Point the installer to Xbox360_64Eng\xbox360\setup64\files\driver\win7

You should see Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows (and a couple of others!) WOOT

That seems to do the trick!

(Oh - and don't forget to press both sync buttons on the controller and receiver...!)

[windrider]

Ok you say you have followed all the steps, but we don't know what steps they are.

You did install the 32 bit drivers for windows 7 posted here
Software Downloads: Xbox 360 Controller for Windows

After installing that, then follow steps for 'Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class'

Then turn on the Xbox 360 Controller and see if its detected.

If you have a USB plug and Play charger set , check here

Support for controller to connect - except its a pc not a console

Connect a wireless or wired Xbox 360 controller - Xbox.com

I did that. I've downloaded and installed 'xbox 360 Accessories Software 1.2 64-bit for Windows 7' but still, my controller dosn't connect. and all the list of drivers is empty accept for 'XBOX 360 controller for windows' and that one dosn't work.

I'm not sure where i've gone wrong.

Ok did you follow the steps again after installing the Xbox 360 Accessories Softwrare

Right click on Computer
Go to Properties
Click on Device Manager
Right click on the Unidentified Device ( or if no Unidentified, then the xbox device)
Go to Properties
Go to the Drive tab
Click on Update Driver…
Browse my computer for driver software
Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer
Windows Common Controller for Window Class
Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for: 2.1.0.1349 [8/13/2009]
Update Driver Warning
Click Yes

That is strange that you don't see it now.

Hey, guys! I´m just new at this forum and maybe I´m a little bit too late, but I hope you can help me although...I had some problems with my receiver, then I ordered a new one and did this steps and it worked without any problem, but before 2 or 3 days I put the receiver out of my usb-hub and today I wanted to play again, but now my computer says to me:
The tool is not possible to start (code10)
what can I do??

I don't recommend to connect your XBOX 360 Receiver into a USB Hub, always connect it to one of the usb ports on the motherboard I/O

Cheers

 

[Anillon]

Thanks for your very fast answer (and sorry my bad english ) my Computer said, the bandwidth was exeeded, but then I put the receiver into the usb ports in the back of my PC and pulled out my webcam and that was the solution

Did you check your batteries. Make sure they are new.

Two unknown devices

Finally got it to work!
My mistake was that I plugged my gaming reciever into all the different USB-slots I have. That created two "unknown devices" in my task manager and I first only installed the driver into one of them(USB-slot 002# and 003#). But at that moment I had the reciever plugged into USB-slot 001# which is connected to the other "unknown device" in the task manager (USB-slot 001# and 004#).
So I just installed the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Version: 2.1.0.1349 [8/13/2009" driver into that one also ^^. I'm too lazy to switch the reciever into another slot you know..

Hope this could help some and thanks everyone helping in this thread!

Laggy connection

I don't know whether its the hardware or something else.


So I got the wireless receiver to work, and I tested it on some games. The controller synced and everything, and the ring lights up in the first quandrant, but the problem is that it only stays lit up for a few seconds. After a few seconds, the light starts revolving around the ring. In the game, every time this happens, it switches back to mouse/keyboard. This problem only lasts a few seconds as well, and the first quandrant lights up again. I guess you can call it laggy connection. Is there anyway to fix it so that it stays perfectly synced for the entirety of the game, without any stopping?

Have you tried new batteries. Is there something else interfering with the wireless connection?
I am a few feet from mine and it works fine.

Fresh batteries, i took out all other USB devices (wireless mouse and such). Still doing the same thing. I don't think has anything to do with range, because the problem persists whether the controller is next to the reciever, or several feet away.

I would have to say there is something wrong with the controller. .Is it in only one particular game, or do you have other games to test the controller with?

I tried this on several games, and the problem is the same for all of them. I think it might be the controller, but the only other one I checked wouldn't sync. I'd have to get that one to sync before I can know for sure. But I just wanted to know if there was a way to fix it for the one controller that the problem is with

Take it back to where you bought it from and ask for a new one.
