    I was wondering if anyone could help me.

    A few years ago I bought an XBOX 360 Controller for my PC (running XP) and have recently upgraded to a Laptop running Vista. I tried to install the Controller on my Laptop but it says it only works with Windows XP, is their a patch I can download to convert what I have to work on Vista.

    Or do I simply just have to to buy a new Controller?

    Thanks in advance if you can help me!

    Vista? for me it was always plug and play, maybe your vista updates are not up to date :p♦

    or you can not since they asked for it.

    as he already thanked you two posts up.

    Well it seems like people around here don't give rep when you help them with something :(

    You're not allowed to ask for rep on the forums, it's one of the rules. If you got it fine but don't think it's a divine right here that users must give rep to others in return for assistance.
