I use my PS3 controller on my Windows 7 x64 installation (and previously working fine on my Vista x64 install), was relatively easy to do - the only annoying thing is when you boot the computer up you need to press F8 and disable the drive signature enforcement (and you need to do it on every boot).

Download drivers from motioninjoy.com
Unplug the PS3 controller
Run the installer program
Plug in the PS3 controller
Go to Start->All Programs->Motioninjoy
Right click on "Install USB driver" and run as administrator
Finish the install
Restart computer and tap F8 during boot
Disable driver signature enforcement
Enter Windows
Play games!

I use mine via the USB cable and not with a bluetooth dongle, works great - I'm pretty much only playing Street Fighter 4 with it. Not by choice, as I only have one game that I use a pad with

Spent a good hour and a half trying to get this to work tonight, no joy. No motionjoy as it were. Could not get the drivers to "take", yellow triangle on them regardless of what I did. Followed the instructions to the letter, even tried the various forced signed driver "test mode" work arounds. Nothing, just an Error 39 in the driver page. Vista 64 SP2. Will just be getting an xbox 360 controller for windows, can't be bothered messing about again. Seems to be pot luck.

Off topic here but I just got a trojan visiting that site on my lunch break psweeney123. :eek:

Were you ok as far as you know?

No idea if that's coincedence or not but the page seemed to load in stages and something was clearly going on. That's the only unknown site I was on.

The trojan was spotted by Trends though and a quick look at my processes showed b.exe that's also now in my startup (killed it and stopped it in msconfig but still to reboot). The quarantined file is c:\windows\system32\eventlog.dll

Don't want to put people off but maybe make sure your anti-virus is working.

Doubtless IT will appear soon to interrogate me!
