Yes. I unistalled it from the device manager. The cd wasnt able to install anything. it just popped up a message saying that it doesnt support the OS. it needs XP sp1 or sp2. I downloaded other driver file (some 18 MB file). It installed but after I restarted the PC, and connected the controller, the device manager showed the error that windows could not initialize the device (Error Code 37). The link you (@Ethan) gave requires a validation. I dont think the net center has a genuine copy of windows. So, Microsoft doesnt update the driver for SP3 where it could for SP1/SP2.. and could not include it in SP3??

The controller was detected in vista without any problem though.
