the only think i can think it that the 360 controller was never meant to work with a computer. ive never herd of it being don or seen it before.

ive seen the controllers that look like 360 controllers sold in the computer department, but i always asumed that it was made for the computer and not the 360.


i may be wrong.

have you tried googleing it?

sorry i can't be of much help but i think you really should look in the device manager for any crossed out items. Sometimes drivers don't get installed properly
@ tec- microsoft has this dongle kind of thing with which you can connect the 360 gamepad to a windows pc

yeah it connects to the pc but i got the plug and play charger for it and it shows up in the device manager but not under gamepads in the control panal tried xpadder, pennicle, or even the drivers from microsoft don't show it when you pull them up and when i turn on the controller all 4 lights just flash green kinda weird like its trying to sync but never does only way to stop it is to unplug it and pull the battery out . i got a ps3 controller that works awsome just like the xbox controllers better

im still unsure about this.

the 360 looking controllers ive seen sold in the computer section at my local electronics store only have a USB cable they do not have anything on them that say 360.

my 360 controller has the usb cable that i can attach to change the battery. im skeptical that the charging cable can be used to run the controller through the computer

but like i said im still unsure about what your talking about and ive never seen this done before

You are using the wrong cable. That cable is only for charging the controller so all you're doing right now is charging it through your PC. You need a wireless controller adapter for PC. It retails for $20 and the controller connects to it without any cables.
