| 733551 | 2008-12-29 22:50:00 | Get one of these (www.dse.co.nz) It'll let u use any wireless Xbox accessory. Ive got one here, I've used the wireless controller / headset, on this All you have to do is, install the software for this, and then press the button on it / the headset / whatever, thats it Then make sure the headset is the default device in windows. |

| 733553 | 2008-12-29 23:37:00 | Did you install the software for it?? (MS Xbox 360 accessories)?? You need to install this first, before you can use it.. Is there an entry in device manager for it (may say Xbox controller or something). Does it have an ? by it? if it does install the drivers/software If youve plugged it into a hub, it may not work in a hub. Plug it into a USB port |

| 733556 | 2008-12-29 23:49:00 | So is there an entry in device for XBox 360 peripherals, and under it it should say Xbox 350 wireless receiver for windows?? If this isnt there, the software isnt installed, or installed properly If you did take it back, and replace it. Sounds like its faulty, or try another USB port Are the ports on this laptop USB 2? What version of windows is on it? You need XP SP1 or later |

| 733558 | 2008-12-30 00:08:00 | Did you press the button on the receiver then the button on the headset?? They need to sync so the receiver picks up the headset Run MS 360 accessories status, if the receiver is picking it up it should be lit on one of the corners (quadrants) in this status program Did you recharge the headset in a USB port? |

| 733559 | 2008-12-30 00:31:00 | yep i did the reset thing .. and checked it again after turning off power to them both.. this one just seems to have one flashing light on the reciever...after you reset it to sync it the bar light flasshes until it finds the headset headset can only be charged thru a household power plug |
