Hrah, my controller isnt wireless, and the guy before, sorry I forgot your name, I have that software but I'm going to download it again anyway to see if it works.

I downloaded the exe and it says I already have it, so no worries there, I have looked in my devices list and it is there, its just not assigning the controller to a "player"..

anyone?

thank you to those who helped, turns out I had a program called motioninjoy which I was using to try get a ps3 controller to work with my pc, was interfering, I removed it in device manager and it worked, thank you to those who offered advice.
