Xbox 360 wireless controller and PC

Basically my Xbox 360 wireless controller is not connecting with my Laptop. I've downloaded and installed all the needed software but it still doesn't work. My laptop DOES have BlueTooth. I press the X button and it brights up, but it's not connecting with my laptop.

If you could please helpme solve this, it would be much appreciated.

The Xbox 360 controller doesent connect via bluetooth!

I know it doesn't connect by bluetooth, I was merely stacking the fact :P .

I downloaded something from Microsoft which is supposed to connect the controller to the Laptop.

Oh well.
