    If this is a recent problem, you might want to try a System Restore (located in the Start Menu).

    Otherwise, I would re-install the Gamepad.

    What is the gamepad may I ask?

      My first suggestion would be to go to Device Manager and look for any Yellow Exclamation Marks or Question Marks.

      You can get to Device Manager by going to Control Panel and clicking on System.
      Then choose the Hardware tab and click on Device Manager.

        It is not appearing in the device manager. It was the first thing i did.

        What's not appearing? The Gamepad?

        Are there any Yellow Symbols anywhere in Device Manager?

          There are no yellow signs and the game pad is not appearing anywhere including device manager and the gamecontroller in control panel.

            Play Station Controller or PS/2 controller?  ???

            Anyways, I would try to Reinstall the Driver for the device.

            How long of a cord is this controller hooked up to ? ?

            Does it work on another machine ? ?
            Hooked up to front or rear USB ports ? ?
