PC Wireless Gaming Receiver having connection issues

[Raving Rabbid Soldier]

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum for this discussion, but I'm having some issues with my receiver. I bought a gaming receiver because I already owned an xbox 360 controller. I've installed the updates for windows 7, 64 bit (my laptop) and my computer can identify the receiver.

My only problem is that I can't seem to connect the controller with the reciever. I held the connection button on both of them several times. Should they have already connected or do I need to be in the middle of a game for that? Is it a serous problem that the system says I can't acess xbox acessories because the system is non-compadable?

what reciever do you have?
brand/model

if its th ms branded one, jsut get the 360 controller driver
and it shoudl work

if its still having issues, it could be the battery in the controller

- Connect Reciver
- Verify the system sees it properly via Control Panel > Devices & Printers
- Press the X/Guide button on the Controller to turn it on
- Press and Hold the button on the Receiver until blinking
- Once blinking, quickly press the small Connect button (located on the top) on the Controller-side

Once connected, both LEDs on Reciver and Controller should turn solid. You only have a very short time for them to connect, so if the Reciver goes back to solid LED and the Controller is still blinking, or going in a circle, try this process again. Once connected, u should now see a seperate "Controller" device within Devices & Printers.

The only point of the Xbox Accessory App is the ability to show the Controller's Battery Status on-screen. If it says it is not compatable, u most likely downloaded the wrong version. Make sure u install the 64bit version to coinside with 64bit OS.

The brand of reciever I have is microsoft. What exactly is a 360 controller driver?

After I downloaded and restarted my computer the screen size of my webpages changed. How do I adjust that?

Would it have been more easy for me to have just bought a xbox 360 controller for pc.
