Anyone know how to remove the Microsoft drivers for the 360 controller? I want to try the XBCD drivers but the MS drivers keep reinstalling themselves when I plug in the controller.
You need to delete the INF file for it. Go into the C:\Windows\INF folder and find the INF file for the controller. (at work, so I don't know what it's called) The next time you plug it in, it should ask you for the driver you want to install. You can be more thorough by finding the actual driver files too, but it's not really necessary.
What are those other drivers supposed to do for you anyway? I run the standard MS ones. (of course I'm also on 64bit Windows)
Do they let you change the mode of the d-pad? (from POV hat, to standard axis) If so, I may try them out as well (provided they work on 64bit.) I have a couple of games that only allow a standard axis for movement control, so the d-pad doesn't show up.
