It may help if you list what this hardware is (brand and type) being its a
reciever its hardware and hardware needs a driver so your going to have to go to the manufactures web site and look for a 64 bit driver. If no Vista X64 bit driver is furnished by the manufacturer the reciever just isn't going to work with the 64 bit version.

This definitely works, as I have an XBox 360 wireless gaming receiver
running under Vista Ultimate x64. Rick Rogers wrote: Hi, Uninstall the current software, then download and install the most recent one for x64 he http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ga...indows%20Vista |

Hi,
Click start and type msconfig, then hit enter. On the startup tab make sure the xbox software is enabled to load at boot. Windows Defender may be blocking it as well. If the light on the receiver does not come on as the system finishes booting, then something is blocking it. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Chris" wrote in message ... ok i tried uninstalling and installing the link you gave me ... twice and it's still not picking the controller up. i push the button on the reciever and it blinks then i turn the controller on an push the "connect" button and the circle goes round and round, then it just blinks and blinks... any ideas?

yes it is configured to come on and yes the light does come on. When you push the button on the reciever it blinks and then when you push the connect button on the controller it will "ACT" like it is connecting and the reciver will stop blinking, and the ring on the controller will stop spining but then it ( the ring ) will just blink and thats all it will do until you turn the controller off.

Hi,
Have you tried unplugging it from the USB port and reinserting it? This should reinitialize the receiver, it's happened to me a few times. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Chris" wrote in message news yes it is configured to come on and yes the light does come on.
