Was it on windows xp? As I know there were drivers to support the xbox. 360 controller, since installing win 7 I haven't actually found a compatible driver, you may have some luck with the link provided by Sweeney though I tried all drivers from Microsoft and all efforts came to no avail

Well, I can't really offer up any links due to not finding sufficient drivers, though I wish you the best of luck with your endeavours
