RandomClown Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hello, me & my friend were trying to get a 360 controller to work on a computer. The computer is Windows XP SP3 & it does not recognize it. Google keeps returning Windows XP SP1/2 drivers. Is there no support for SP3?

Nophix Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If it's a wireless controller, it won't work without the reciever. It will charge, but not connect to the PC. A wired controller will work fine. Btw, I've run it on XP SP2 and 3, as well as vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhollyMindless Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You need to download the specific driver to make it work with the wireless. I don't remember where, but it's on a microsoft.com site. BTW, Always get the driver yourself rather than relying on MS magic to get you a driver. That way you know what you're getting.

RandomClown Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ohh, forgot to say it is a wired controller. We can't get XP to recognise it. I used Xpadder to check if it is connect it, as it sees any joystick plugged in. **EDIT** WhollyMindless: I almost never use MS to find drivers. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leapo Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Driver is hosted right on Microsoft's website: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/downloads/default.mspx Here's the direct link for the Windows XP 32bit driver for the wired Xbox 360 gamepad: http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/0...ox360_32Eng.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 its the same the with the ps3 controller. its pretty easy to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webjockey Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Actually, the impression I got was that the stuff you downloaded just gave you a (useless) help file and a (useless) Xbox logo telling you how many controllers you had plugged in. So I pretty much stop that process, and the controller still works fine. Windows recognises it as a Joystick, so you might want to check in "Control Panel>Game Controllers" for it.

nvrmnd Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I had problems with this aswell, the the driver that was hosted by microsoft was an older version that didn't support sp3, but you can find the newer one there... just got to dig some!
