    keep looking around for different versions of the drivers and different install methods. Its old stuff now and its rather hard to find the resources on it. I used to have it working no problem but last time I tried I could not get them to work ether but I think thats because I use x64 Vista now and last time I used x86.

    They are awesome drivers tho.

    Oh I had the same problem. Try this...

    Install the XBCD drivers with the Source Code.
    Then when you search for your own drivers go to that location where the drivers are installed which is probably at c:\program files\xbcd 360\source code\driver

    Download the XBCD drivers from the website and then in the beginning they will show you what things needed to be installed and one of them is Source Code.

    Did you go to your device manager and then find the xbox controller and then reinstall the drivers? Make sure you go locate the source drivers. And that should be it.

    Thx for the advice azn, but its just not working. I was wondering if u could try reinstalling your drivers the way u advised, and if it still works, let me know? i dont understand what could be the problem, i downloaded the correct file, 32 bit version, and followed the directions exactly but when i get to the part where i manually select the folder where the drivers are located, all it does is say that the drivers are already up to date. Idk, maybe ill try different software. any suggestions?(the only other one im aware of is xpadder but im not sure if that will work)

    Did you go into your XBCD software and see if it recognizes your controller? If it does, then that means you have successfully install it.
