This might help: http://fretsonfire.wikidot.com/using-gu ... controller

If you have any further problems, do tell which guitar you're using as there is quite a bunch of em now. ;)
Also when you say what kind of drivers it might help if you link us to the driver you're using.

Good luck.

If you go in to the control center is the guitar recognized as a input device, joystick whatever?
I'm not on windows myself so I can't give detailed instructions.
Hopefully someone with a similar guitar controller will pop up, read this thread and give a pointer or two.

i am having the same problem with an x-plorer guitar, xp doesn't even aknowledge that it's plugged into any usb port, no ding ding when i plug it in, nothing in device manager, and i've tried this thing on 2 different towers and a laptop. 2 running vista and one running xp. no luck! any help would be greatly appreciated. i'm ready to give up soon


edit*

according to www.circuitcity.com there are 2 different x-plorer guitars! one is strictly for xbox360 and the other is for xbox360 and pc! can anyone else confirm this is true? they both look exactly the same but there is roughly a $15 price difference between the two of them!

Ballcrap. The 360 guitar -IS- the PC one. The. Exact. Same. Thing.

Also: Tried looking for... was it XBCD I heard a while ago? Anyway, that may be worth looking for.

i do understand what your saying and i thought the same thing as well but like i said, i have 3 computers here and none of them see it! i have xbcd v107 installed on all 3, have tried the microsoft controller link on all 3 with no success either. so i am wondering if this is the case! maybe there are 2 different ones. there is a price difference between the two of them. i just find it kinda odd that all 3 don't see the one i have.

---- EDIT ----

ok so apparently there is a difference! the one from that has redoctane plastered on the front of it with the black packaging does not work! however the one from activision does! i just purchased the activision one from circuit city, pluged it in and windows recognize's it!

sorry to be the bearer of bad news for the people that bought x-plorers from redoctane.com but they just don't work! find the activision guitars! i bought mine for 19.99 usd
