    My PS3 controller is being detected without any drivers or anything installed. I was trying to do it with the LibUSB...stuff and it disabled all my USB ports. Any time I try to run the ps3sixaxis_en.exe file it immediately says it has stopped working and close program. What to do?

    Tried this about 6 months back. Spent days working on it. Never could get it to work.

    It works, it used to be rather hard but they have made it easy now with new software that does almost all the work for you.

    I still prefer my wiimote and 360 controllers though.

    I cant help you any more than google can, just type in "ps3 dual shock on pc" something along those lines and you will find many guides.
