Hi
I have manged to do everything that was told to be done by this article, and I did get the controller to be functional throw the program DS3 Tool. But I’m having a problem using it on games such was Cod – MW3. I did try using Xpadder and other methods that was successful, although it only worked when I was on my desktop or other windows to move around the pointer. It stops working ones I open a game installed on my PC and if a administrator window pops up when it asked me to allow a program to run/install. I have tried searching for any answer in the net with no luck.
I did try running DS3 Tool as an administrator, and tried give the program privileges throw control panel, but nothing worked. Ones I open the game, its as if the controller does not exist anymore. Please can someone help me with this?

I installed the DS3 software on my Win7 x64 system, but when l plug in my PS2 controller into the USB adapter and plug the adapter into my PC, it is not recognized and l do not have a “LOAD” button, rather a “LOAD DRIVER” button that when clicked tells me l need to pick a driver from the list. But there is no list.

I have done Mordecai Walfish’s suggestion of going into Device Manager in Windows, but l get the same message that Drns gets of “The folder you specified doesn’t contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems.” Not sure what to do at this point. It seems that plugging a PS2 controller into my PC is STILL not possible.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
