Got it!!!!!!!  Not quite sure how except I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver for the controller and Direct X.  Opened up the config for the controller and Voila, the vendor and product ID was in there and it worked like a charm!!!!!!!! 

Thank you Mr. Lee Davis for this plug in.  It's going to be very helpful.

Rich,

I think you misunderstood what I meant by Gamestop controller.  It's an Xbox 360 controller but it's not an original used Microsoft controller from an Xbox 360.  I purchased it at Gamestop.  From researching the topic extensively before posting, it seems that this shouldn't be a problem but that others had gotten better results from original Microsoft controllers.  I had read the setup instructions which said the controller must be the first one used on the computer.  That's why I wanted to know if I could maybe uninstall the driver for the Gamestop brand Xbox controller and reinstall with an original Microsoft Xbox controller.  Of course on my limited budget, I'd much rather just get the one I already have working.

Can you point me to the particular thread you are referring to?  I had also searched many of those unsuccessfully before posting.

General Mach Discussion / Xbox 360 Controller Setup

I'm trying to get the Xbox 360 controller plugin to work on my mill.  I downloaded and installed the directx and Xbox360_32eng from the links along with the plug in.  The controller is a gamestop controller.  I can see the controller on my control panel but mach doesn't seem to see it.  I did make sure to check the enable.  I also tried typing in the vendor ID 0e6f and the product id 0401 but it doesn't seem to take.  Anyone have any suggestions on where to look next?  If the solution is to get a genuine Xbox brand controller, do I need to uninstall / reinstall anything or just plug it in and give it a try?  I saw somewhere that I should see at the bottom corner of the mach screen that it recognizes the XBox controller.  I'm not seeing that if that's any clue.

Thanks and advance for any help.
