Trying to set up my new Xbox controller


Just bought a wireless Xbox controller for windows today. Have it all set-up. Just dont know how to go about using it or should I say "enabling" it for games. Trying to use it on "Brothers in Arms Hells Highway". Turned the controller on and the lights around the power button blink. Probably supposed to. Do I have to enable a game controller on that actual game options? New to game controllers. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

ok press the button on it and press the same button on your 360 until you only see 1 light, make sure you install the drivers for it also. bia should detect it right away

What buttons are we talking about here? Have the button on my router, the power button on the controller and the wireless button on the controller at the top. If I hold down the router button it blinks for a few seconds as well. If I hold down the wireless button on the controller the light goes in a circle and than goes back to blinking. Just need to know which buttons to press and when. I already loaded the software it came with. Thanks

press the button on the receiver that has 3 lines, and the small button on the controller that also has 3 lines, both of them should be rapidly blinking, then your 360 will connect and show one light

They don't blink unless I hold them both down. I hold the button down on the receiver until it starts blinking and than hold the button down on the controller until it starts searching and than it just goes back to blinking with all the lights. Maybe its not finding it.

That didn't help. Same software I already had loaded that came with it. Went to my control panel and to game controllers and it doesnt show anything. Now what?

I think that's my problem since my control panel shows nothing under game controls.
