I've been running on those drivers for months, possibly years now. Xbox 360 Controller Support page (latest drivers) | few things: I am fully aware of the driver situation that you refer to. So don't scoff and assume you do have the latest drivers just cause you trust windows update to grab them, it doesn't (or hadn't for me) I'll check my history and see if I can dig up the drivers, so in case you wanna try them out you can. I assume this can possibly help in funky situations like the OP where drivers of your other devices may conflict. With the newest drivers when you hit the home button it actually pulls up a dialog, where as drivers I had before (and actually worked perfectly) did nothing with that button. they aren't super new BUT they actually are newer than any drivers windows finds itself through windows update sometimes, and definitely newer than drivers that were provided by a disc or whatever. There IS actually some 'new' drivers for the 360pad on windows. Something to do with it burning through more power than it should, and burning itself out within short work (and I guess they never bothered to just fix it and keep selling it. The Wireless hub itself is known to be a piece of junk, hence why it's discontinued and they haven't sold it in years. A big reason why I use a WIRED controller instead, solves so much of these headaches if you really appreciate using a controller with a decent amount of PC titles. Driver issues, and known issues with the wireless hub for the controller were most likely the real issue there.
