When I install the xbox360 controller i noticed it doesn't get detected in fifa09. On further investigation i noticed that in the device manager it does not get listed un sound, video and game controllers. Instead it gets listed under "@%Systemroot%\system32\XInput9_1_0.dll,-1000" What have I done wrong? Is there anyway to fix this? Arris: I don't own a Xbox 360 nor I am aware of a solution. I suggest to post your question at the Win2008Workstation.com Forums.

I installed my Logitech G25 steering wheel on Server 2008 x64 by downloading the Wingman Vista 64-bit drivers from logitech and installing it. It detected my wheel correctly and lets me configure everything (rotation, feedback settings, etc.), without having installed the control panel software. Which makes sense since it’s basically an alternative control panel.

Now that I’m trying to get a joypad working though, I think it’s time to add the windows control panel in.

Hey guys,

I installed my gamepad, and it found the drivers.. The game controller panel is nice, and is working, but there’s nothing about feedback in there (in XP I can see a separate tab to see and adjust the feedback force)..

Did I miss something?

Admin, I finally get the Game Controller from Vista to work.

Download Vista Game Controller x86: http://www.mediafire.com/?jvtgivxxghd or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5OY9HSNE

Download Vista Game Controller x64: http://www.mediafire.com/?ztkwmbbw1yj or

Admin: Nice job again Mark! Now we can have the real Vista Game Controllers control panel in stead of the one copied from Windows XP! Urls updated, only have to add the two mirrors.

Just go inside the folder “C:\Program Files(x86)\Windows Sidebar” in windows vista and copy the language-folder to the same place in Windows Server 2008. Works for me and I’m from sweden so my language-folder is called sv-se. I have installed the swedish language pack for Windows Server 2008 so that could be needed also.

Hello Admin,

it are all for english users of english windows systems ok but i am
a german and search the same but in german language – and dont found

Admin: Thanks for the compliments! You can copy the de-DE or any other language (list of culture names) files from a Windows Vista in your language.

You should get the files from Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Vista SP1 (x64).

Admin: I wish I could, because when you use the files from Windows Vista and open the item in the Control Panel, nothing shows up! :-/ So I see this as an acceptable workaround.

u realy, realy not need x64 joy.cpl. generaly this stuff need only once, when u calibrate joystick. on x64 server one and only working joy.cpl is from windows xp (home or professional 32 bit edition).

Admin: I just took the files literally from a clean Windows XP Virtual Machine, and in the x64 edition there were two different joy.cpl files… You are right that you only need 1 joy.cpl in your system32 folder. (no matter which architecture)

Hi. First, thanks for all of the work in this site.
I tried the correct x64 file to get the joystick going with no luck. Is there anything else we could do to get it to work?

I have tried using CPLs from Vista DVD and do not work. Are provided CPLs hacked somehow? Admin: Added the source of the .cpl files to the article (Win XP). I got this tip from this topic on the forum (author microslav).
