Firstly I downloaded the drivers for the controller and the wireless adaptor manually. Then uninstalled these and let Windows download them manually.
The problem is that my PC simply is not detecting the controller when connected wirelessly. The steps I am doing are these precisely:
- I turn on the controller pressing the Xbox button which starts blinking slowly
- then I plug in the adaptor and turn it in by pressing the wireless button for about 3 seconds and it starts blinking slowly, more or less at the same rate than the controller LED

- then I press the Xbox controller button several times until both controller and adaptor LEDs stop blinking, which I assume mean the wireless connection has been established (I have never had an Xbox so I don't know if this is it for sure)However the PC doesn't detect any new device at all. The controller is not listed by the Device Manager nor it's listed when running joy.cpl either. So it seems like the connection happens but the PC doesn't detect the controller. After a brief instant the device connection seems to be lost because the controller LED starts blinking again, although the adaptor stays on and not blinking.
I think it's worth mentioning that when both LEDs stop blinking and stay lit at the same time the Device Manager list flashes and refreshes as if a new device was connected, however no new device is listed nor no Windows popup window lets you know you have connected the controller. This flash and refresh effect also happens when the controller 'disconnects' from the adaptor (when the controller LED goes back at blinking slowly again).
edit: I am going to add some more information after sizzling suggested reinstalling the wireless adapter driver. This is what happened, quoting myself:
The driver automatic instalation failed but it doesn't say why. In the Device Manager the adapter is listed under Network Adapters named Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows #4 and it shows up with a yellow warning icon. Upon inspection the error/warning message is 'device could not start up (code 10)'. However when unplugging it and plugging it back again the error magically goes away and the device is listed normally. Could this be the problem? What drivers am I supposed to install then? It's using the ones provided by Windows...
I beg your help with this. I have been at this problem for no less than 7 hours today and have tried seeking help in different communities only to be utterly ignored.Thank you in advance.
On my old computer (Vista 32-bit), I was able to use my PS3 controller to play games, through use of a SIXAXIS driver that I had found. However, I recently upgraded to a new computer (Windows 7 64-bit), and I was planning to get the PS3 controller set up again.
Now I've been searching online for a way to do this, and a majority of sources I've found say to use the MotionInJoy SIXAXIS driver software. However, one of the blogs I follow had a post about MotioninJoy, warning people against using it, as apparently, it's some form of spyware or malware. (Here's the link to the blog post, for reference: Hardcore Gaming 101 - Blog:PS3 Sixaxis on a x64 Windows PC)

Now the blog offers a alternative source for drivers, but the issue I have is that the instructions are translated poorly, thus making them hard to follow. (Here's the link to the driver pageTAMAMY's SIXAXIS/DualShock3 Device Drivers)

What's more, in either case, to get the drivers to work, you have to hit F8 when your computer is starting, and select 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement'. For whatever reason, doing this makes me nervous, as I don't like to mess around with the more complicated functions of my computer, as I fear I'll screw something up.

What I'm asking is this: Has anyone been able to get a PS3 controller to work on a 64-bit version of Windows? If so, could you tell me how you were able to get it set-up?
