Hi. So I have this wireless 360 controller, and that wireless receiver thing.

But I need drivers for the controller. I tried installing them through device manager using that "search automatically" feature that lets you search online for drivers but I get an error saying, "Windows was unable to install your controller(Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows)"

The controller syncs with the receiver but it doesn't get detected by my PC.

I am running Vista Home premium and I tried multiple USB ports for the receiver part.

The drivers install for the receiver, just not the controller. Is there some trick to this that I'm not getting?

So basically, my question is, how would I get my controller to be detected by my computer?
 
I'm assuming your controller is wireless. You don't need drivers for it. All you need to do is press the button on the receiver, turn on your controller, and press and hold the small button on the top. It should connect to your receiver. You can press the guide button and something will pop-up in Windows.
 
See, that's the thing. When I go into the device manager on my PC, it says I need drivers. I've installed the drivers from the microsoft website, but it still says i need them.
 
Have you tried completely removing all the drivers and the device from your system, rebooting, and then starting over fresh?
