I am using win xp, but the one thing I remember is that there is a xbox 360 driver for controls that windows installed automatically, make sure that happened.I think u can also download it at Microsoft web.remember to have your mode button on to use the stick for certain retro games

Be sure you are not plugged into a usb 3.0 plug which is blue. Also for whatever reason if u have the ps3 version it doesn't work on pc.

You might have to download the Microsoft drivers that are required to use a basic wired controller. Considering at the base level, it's just a controller. If you google "Microsoft driver 360 wired" you should get it. It's a small download that'll let you use any wired 360 controller.

It depends upon which operating system you're using. I have Windows 8.1 with all the latest patches and upgrades and this device isn't recognized...at all! I contacted the vendor and they said they had no plans on upgrading the driver for this device, so, it now sits in a special place in the garage...where all the other junk is stored.

Not good. The PC has about 4 drivers missing that are only valid for W8+. I tried it and tried to get drivers, but did not find anywhere. Yes, I hate W8.

I have windows 8, and it works perfectly, maybe you could update your usb/chipset drivers...

while I don' t have a clear cut answer, I do have one that works. See if it at least is at least recognized in device manager under Windows' control panel. If it is, you might right click on properties and have windows look for a new driver on the net. You might want.to reformat it under fat32 or NTFS....

No...the box says MS windows. Maybe there is a patch or update to make them compatible. However I don't know of one.

It depends on the manufacturer. If you have a specific printer in mind, the best way to know if it is compatible with Windows 8 is to check the manufacturer's website and see if drivers were released. You can also check the Windows Compatibility Center to see if your printer is listed as compatible with Windows 8: http://bit.ly/Xa8R0z

You're using Windows 8! JK. It workes great on my Win 8 rig. The drivers it installs are for the HDD itself. Try using a different USB port. If that doesn't work check the Disk Management utility for your HDD and go from there.

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

Windows 7 will except this devise!,drivers included, what you might need to do is use another usb cord so that windows 7 will recognize this devise. sometimes it's the usb cord!

i got it to work with win8.1 64 bit , which is a feat in and of itself ,. but if you have gone thru 2 cables already, are you sure you are not missing something ? have you tried the other cables with a different pc altogether .?

NO PROBLEM! Though on a side note, I have had better luck using the windows update drivers for these things than the provided software. fwiw

it's going to need a driver for win8.0 or 8.1, otherwise any devices u plug in won't be recognized until after windows completes boot process. for example, kb and mouse are checked during post process which is before windows loads.Win 7 comes with the correct driver, so I would believe ver 8 and 8.1 do also. But, you haven't anything to lose....buy it and if you are unhappy, return it. I did that to get a usb3 external ports...good luck

I had the same problem.I had to call customer service and they made sure I have the correct ID for windows.You will need to re install windows on your computer after speak with customer service.Sorry to tell you I had to re install twice. Now it works fine no problems with windows.

Using it successfully with Win 7 home. Win 7 saw it without driver disk use. Don't know re 8.1.

I think there are Win9x drivers available - that's a really ancient OS - are you stuck with it because of a program? It does print on legal as well as letter.
