'I think this problem only exists on my laptop, because when I plug it in to my laptop which is running Windows XP, I get USB device malfunctioned' AH ha! A different story from your title and the way the 1st post read. Go to Device Manager while the controller is plugged into a USB port (btw - have you tried a different port, if one is available? ) and find the controller name in Human Interface Devices. If there is a symbol such as an X! Next to the controller name there is a problem.

The link below gives some troubleshooting information. If there are no problem indicators the controller probably needs appropriate drivers. Radioactive Man Radioactive Man Rar Extractor more. You could try R/clicking on the device name and try the option to Update Driver Software. If that does not help and there is no driver software for the controller that supports XP (WIn7 too if you want to be able to create button assignment profiles) on the mfg's web site then you may be out of luck. Is the controller a big name brand - Logitech, Belkin/Razor, MS XBOX, etc? I am not aware of controllers that will function on Win7 and not function on XP, but the PC industry being the way it is, I would not be surprised if some very new controllers are not backward compatible with XP..
