I plugged the receiver onto a laptop that had a Vista OS and It worked flawlessly, as soon as it was plugged in the drivers installed and I could play a few small games with it. So I tried your method but still nothing happened, I could not sync my controller with the receiver when I plugged it onto my desktop. I do not know if this might help but I have a wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse, could that be interfering with connectivity? I plugged the receiver in a chassis USB port and all my sound disappeared.

Hi,

I would suggest you to check if the Receiver works properly on other computer running on Windows Vista Operating system.

Check for the Device Status in the Device Manager.

Try the steps provide to resolve the issue.

Delete the INFCACHE.1 file and it will force Windows to rebuild the INFCACHE.1 file the next time Windows searches for drivers. To delete this file, you have to set the security permissions of it to allow Full Control for the User Group Administrators or full control for your user account. Please follow the directions below:

1. Open a Windows Explorer window by right clicking on Start and then clicking on Explore.
2. In the address bar, type C:\windows\inf and press Enter.
3. Find and then right click on the file named INFCACHE.1.

4.Select Properties.

5. Click on the Security tab.
6. Click on Edit to edit the permissions of the file.
7. Click on Add to add User Groups.
8. Type Administrators in the User Groups field and click on OK.
9. Set Administrators to Full Control and click on OK.
10. Move or delete the file INFCACHE.1.
11. Reinstall a device to force Windows to rebuild the INFCACHE.1 file (DO NOT reinstall the same external hard drive that you were having issues detecting before. Please connect another USB device other than the one that Vista had an issue detecting).

Like I said, it is not ym sound but if I plug the receiver in an chassis usb port, it works, but if I plug it in the back into the a motherboard usb port, it does not work while every other device works regardless which USB port I plug it in.

So I have tried everything you said to do, still nothing. However, I have found out something. My sound and headset are fine if I plug it in any usb port on my PC, however, the wireless receiver only works if I plug it into the case usb port. Because I tried to plug it into the back usb ports connected to the motherboard but I could not link my controller with the receiver. I tested those ports out and they work fine as anything else that was plugged in worked perfectly. With the exception of the receiver, it only works if plugged into a chassis usb port and it will disrupt/distort my sound coming from the headset. Any other options?
