Hi, My windows XP game controllers tab under control panel is there, but it doesnt function, I double click on it, but it just flickers and doesnt load, on the few times It's loaded it finds a strange error and closes, then doesnt open again. I am in this control panel to set up my xbox360 wired controller that recently came out with PC drivers. I reinstalled windows XP tonight, but didnt reformat, I dont know what to do. I am about to reinstall service pack 2, if I have any changes, ill let yall know. Thanks! Gary

Make sure you have the correct drivers for your game port. (unless you're using a USB controller of course)

Hi, It is USB, and its brand new. It included drivers, but the problem is that the game controllers thing in the control panel doesnt load. I formatted today, but it continues to fail to load. I think its my install disc, but we dont have the money for another one right now. And, also, when I installed SP2, it disabled my USB devices on boot. I dont understand why it would do that, but I couldnt use my mouse or keyboard, so I was out of luck. Gary
