Hey there,
I have looked all over the internet for a solution to this strange problem,but it seems as if I am the only one facing it.
I used to play mulyiplayer games on my pc using 2 xbox 360 wired controllers which worked fine. Due to some reason i had to change my hardrive and start all over with installing the windows,and so on.On my pc with the new hardrive,I only installed one of my controllers to play single player ganes and later on,when i got the need to play a multiplayer game, I found out that connecting the second controller was just impossible . The second controller is detected on my pc and also blinks its 4 LED's but it wont work. Updating the driver gives an error"Acces Denied". i have tried disabling ,unistalling and what not to make it work but every single time ,this one particular controller wont work. To make sure if the controller is not damaged,i connected the controller to another pc,and it connected perfectly.I looked over the internet to find a solution to"Access Denied" error and on some forum i was told to get permission through regedit,but I couldn't get the permission.
So I am sure that the controllers work fine,but the problem is with my system and i really need it fixed.

I am looking forward for a quick reply with a working solution

P.S: I also installed the driver manually from the Microsoft website,but again that one particular controller didnt work.

Regards, Turab Jafri

So I found the solution on my own. For those facing the same problem, simply go into "SAFE MODE With Networking" and update your driver from there. Worked for me :D

Thanks for the quick response Eduello,
I was aware of that software but the xbox controller is supposed to be plug and play thingy. Secondly, motionjoy is not user friendly and is mostly recognized as a malware by the antivirus programs.
I would appreciate if someone tells me a way to use the controller as it's supposed to be used
