    I want to connect the xbox controller, but I can't...

    like 5 days ago I had bluetooth, worked and etc... and now, the bluetooth gone. no icon, no icon on the taskbar, not working, nothing!


    what should I do? I didn't update/installed somthing...

    I'm trying to install now from the CD I got and from Asus's website.

    What should I do?

    Uninstall your BT driver then restart windows. Windows should install a generic driver automatically, but if the BT works, now, you can update the driver if you want.

    Waffleboy does Fn F2 bring up the OSD for WLAN and BlueTooth?
    If not check WC3 in task scheduler

    *facepalm* The Xbox controller is not a Bluetooth device. You need the wireless dongle for it to work or better yet, a wired controller.
