However, I do echo the statements that others have made on these forums that once the Joystick is recognized by the computer, performance is not what I would expect. I tried the add new hardware wizard, and now when I select my 'xbox 360 controller', I get this message:Ĭan someone please tell me what drivers to install, in what order, and what specifically to do once I run them?Īfter a 3rd attempt I was able to get the Xbox controller driver to work properly, and I was able to use the Joystick on my computer. I then found the blurb (not very easy to find, btw) about needing to download the xbox 360 controller driver. The add new hardware wizard would open up, but the actual driver installer would never detect the stick, and cancel was the only option (could not select 'next'). I initially just downloaded the driver from Saitek, but when I was prompted to connect my controller, it could not be detected.

However, after 1 hr of downloading and scouring forums, I haven't been able to get my computer (XP) to detect the stick. I'm mean, why not? One joystick for the Xbox360 and my PC. I got the AV8R-02 with the intention of selling my old AV8R-01.
