    XBOX controller + Vista

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone is using an Xbox controller (wired) with Vista as their OS? If so, what did you do to get it working? I've tried using XBCD but when I run the program for the settings I can't open up the XGI file to make the triggers be recognized as digital buttons. I used this to setup the controller when I was running FFXI on XP, but I am having no luck with Vista. Please help me out.

    I just plugged in the controller and it installed the drivers automatically. Haven't tried it with FFXI but it works for other things.

    I've done that as well. Then I went to FFXI Config to setup my controller buttons and it won't recognize the triggers. I used the triggers for my macros.

    I've downloaded that as well and installed it. FFXI Config still doensn't allow me to use the triggers.

    Try googling for 'joytokey.exe'

    I just tried joytokey.exe, unless I did something wrong, it doesn't solve this problem either.

    I have my wireless one for xp and the ffxi config doesn't let me use the triggers either, they seem to be recognized only as pressure sensitive sliders. One of the default configs have the triggers being able to move the camera, so I'm sure this is possible I'm just not sure how to do it.
