Using an xbox controller with windows.

I have an xbox360 controller and the cord that plugs in to the computer. How do i use it as a joystick? Because i downloaded different drivers from the microsoft site, it still won't come up or work. I googled it and found too many different ways and most didn't seem to work.

ps:trying to play srb2 with it

Well, in the Setup Control section, there are joystick options. Select the controller you wanna use, then play around with the axises (or axii) for the controls. You can press the buttons on the controller when you're setting up the normal controls, too.

thats the problem, it doesn't show up. I used a psp as a joystick, it showed up but not the xbox controller

Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming

Under 1, select "Controller"
Under 2, select "Microsoft XBox 360 Controller for Windows"
Under 3, your operating system (make sure this is set right!)
Under 4, your language.

This is the same site I use every time I get the driver, and it's always worked without issue after installing and a computer restart (just to be sure).

Hope this helps.
