When you connect a controller to your computer, it is assigned a specific quadrant that glows green to indicate the controller's number and position. If you followed the setup instructions on the installation CD, you should be ready to use your device. With this software and a compatible wireless receiver, you can use various Xbox 360 accessories such as wired and wireless game controllers, wired and wireless headsets, and wireless wheels for gaming on your computer. The accessory status indicator shows the battery status (for wireless devices) and the assigned quadrants of the connected controllers.
Choose "Install this driver software anyway".A warning will come up saying "windows cant verify the publisher of the device publisher" Like it shows here.Right click on that file and choose "install".
Go back to where you extracted the Xbox360_64Eng.exe file and navigate to the driver file.Take a note of the device ID number (something like 0291) this is so we can modify the driver in order for it to install.Go to Device Properties > Details tab > Hardware Ids properties and you find that yours is something different from USB\Vid_045E&Pid_0719 (this is the Microsoft branded adapter ours are likely not), this will be why Windows won't accept your device.Open your device Manager and find the "unknown device".
Extract Xbox360_64Eng.exe (or the 32 bit file) to a folder (Winrar will work) and will come back to this in a moment.(I assume you all have done this a hundred times by now like me)Ģ.Go to the Microsoft website and download the driver Windows 7 32 bit of 64 bit, depending on your OS. Uninstall ALL the old drivers you have for the Xbox 360 controller and remove the "unknown device" in the device manager too.
