    Old title: PC Wireless Gaming Receiver for XBOX 360 controllers

    I have bought the hardware recently, unfornately the software will not install(presumably got a broken CD). So I was wondering if I can get a driver online for this specific hardware. I cannot find it anywhere.

    If you have Windows 7:

    1. Click start, right click computer and then click device manager!
    2. right click where it says unknown device, then sear internet for driver

    (it will say cannot find driver but below will say search driver myself from list!)

    1. Click search from list of drivers, scroll down to Microsoft wireless controller!
    2. Highlight The microsoft controller and click next, a list of microsoft gaming accessories will appear!
    3. Click on Microsoft wireless receiver and then next! (it will say it is not recommended to install driver because unknown publisher, but if you installed software from http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=Gaming&type=Gaming

    you know the driver came from there! and then.........ENJOY!!!

    Thanks for the help. But there is one problem regarding to the software download site.

    Microsoft has only set up the download site for the "Wireless Controller" product, instead of "Wireless Gaming Receiver" mentioned in the set-up site.

    Is there any possible way that you can provide me an actual download link for the Gaming Receiver's driver link?

    Thanks again.
