I have a wired Xbox360 controller for my PC and have installed the correct driver for it. It works great for GTA San Andreas, but I can't get the right analog stick to work with the game. I have gone to my control panel and fiddled with the settings for "game controllers", but to no avail. My big question is this, I absolutely love Gears of War and have heard that it has come out for the PC. Is there a way to set up the controller to use the right analog stick with the PC game? I had 2 Xbox360's and both burned up on me. I really want to buy Gears of War for the PC, but not if I can't use the right analog.

BTW, the right analog (which moves the players head & eyes) doesn't work with Call of Duty 2 for the PC either. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I know how helpful afterdawn members are. After all, I wouldn't have been able to mod my Xbox v1.6b without you all.

Thanks

A lot of PC games, especially FPS games are just not set up to use controllers.I had the same problem with a few games and the controller i was using was for the PC.

Learn to use your keyboard and mouse, as painful as that may be.

PS just so you know Gears Of War is a "Games For Windows" game. If you do not know what that means:
http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Pages/index.aspx

Unless you still have your Xbox Live account be prepared to lay out $50 for a years subscription to online service If you want the full deal. The Silver membershio is free and unlike XBL alows you to still play online.

Wave of the future, they will make all of the online play the same as Xbox Live is.

Thanks steimy. I fell victim 2wice to the overheating Xbox360 and I am left with many games, (including Gears of War). You saved me from wasting (more) money and time with the Windows game of GoW.

Much appreciated. Guess I'll have to wait until M$ fixes the doomed 360 or until they release the Xbox720. I heard even the New falchon chips burn up. what a shame.
