This fix should help those of you that have had problems with losing connectivity with your xbox360 wireless receiver for pc :
1. UNPLUG THE RECEIVER FROM THE USB PORT
2. UNINSTALL THE DRIVER USING THE ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS IN CONTROL PANEL.
3. GO INTO DEVICE MANAGER AND REMOVE THE XBOX 360 PERIPHERAL ENTRY WHICH SHOULD BE RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM THE LAST HEADING UNDER USB DEVICES. I THINK YOU HIGHLIGHT IT AND CLICK ON REMOVE OR UNINSTALL AND IT SHOULD DISAPPEAR LEAVING JUST THE USB DEVICES HEADER .
4. THIS IS OPTIONAL BUT I RAN A REGISTRY CLEANER AND THEN RESTARTED MY COMPUTER.
5. DO NOT PLUG IN THE WIRELESS RECEIVER YET....INSTALL THE WIRELESS RECEIVER SOFTWARE, ONCE YOU'VE DONE THAT PLUG IN THE WIRELESS RECEIVER TO A SPARE USB PORT..YOU SHOULD THEN GET A LITTLE BUBBLE DOWN BY YOUR CLOCK SAYING WINDOWS HAS FOUND NEW HARDWARE AND ONCE AGAIN AFTER ITS INSTALLED THE SOFTWARE FOR THE XBOX360 GAMING DEVICE SAYING ITS READY TO USE.
6. POWER UP YOUR 360 PAD ENSURING THE BATTERIES ARE FULLY CHARGED OR IF YOU'RE USING DURACELLS THEY HAVE LOTS OF LIFE IN THEM.
7. PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE RECEIVER UNTIL IT FLASHES THEN PRESS THE LITTLE BUTTON ON THE 360 PAD AND THE FOUR GREEN QUADRANTS SHOULD FLASH FOR A SECOND THEN STOP ON ONE GREEN SEGMENT IF IT CONNECTS PROPERLY.
I did the above on my system and it worked straight off like it did when i first got it.
Hope this helps.
cheers, daz.
PS MAKE SURE YOU HAVENT GOT ANY OTHER WIRELESS DEVICES NEARBY, MOBILE PHONES, CORDLESS PHONES ETC AS THESE COULD STOP THE DEVICE WORKING PROPERLY.
