Xbox 360 controller & Vista ultimate 64bit (Media Center)

twicksisted · Apr 13, 2008

I read somewhere that you can control Windows Media Center with an Xbox 360 controller.
Though, I cant seem to do this... and no where in the Media center options does it have anything to do with that controller as a remote.

Have I missed something?

Im running Vista Ultimate 64bit & the controller is an Xbox 360 USB PC version.

I've never heard of using the controller. I know you can use the xbox remote for Media centre if you have a receiver.
The 360 controller is installed as a gamepad. Which i would imagine Media Cnetre wouldnt support as a navigation device.
