I have Vista Ultimate, all updates installed, the latest release of the wireless reciever’s drivers (1.10.118.0), USB 2.0 and everything else and this unit will not work.
It will however work on XP, I have a dual boot system. Which means there’s nothing wrong with my hardware and that this is a big driver problem for Microsoft.
And to quote another reviewer “leave it to Microsoft to release a new product that’s incompatible with their latest and ‘greatest’ Operating System”.
Leave it to Microsoft to release a product that doesn’t work with their new operating system. I’m sure they will eventually release a vista driver and software, but when?
I got this thing to work one time…that is it…This product does not work with Vista…even after downloading the required driver from the Microsoft web site. And I can’t even get the receiver to recognize an Xbox 360 wireless controller. Vista doesn’t even list it as a controller when everything is hooked up.
As others have said, it has critical problems with Logitech wireless mice. For the life of me, I can’t imagine how they allow such a product to hit the market without testing it with mice of one of the most popular brands in the world. Sucks.
I know this is inappropriate but I had no other way of messaging you directly, Ian Pond. I’m trying to use that Mac OS X driver for using Xbox 360 controller on a Mac and I cannot get it to work. Whenever I try to install it it keeps telling me that the installation failed even though a new preference pane shows up in my system preferences but even then it never detects my wired 360 controller which I have plugged into my Mac. I didn’t notice a forum at the guy’s site that created the driver so I have nowhere else to go to seek advice regarding his 360 driver for Mac. Any advice regarding this would be appreciated. [...]. I’m also using Snow Leopard (10.6.1), I wonder if that might be the cause of the problem?
