Hi.

So I've been having problems installing my Wireless Receiver after reinstalling Windows 7 on my PC.
When I plug the USB in onto a port on my PC the following error comes up:

I've dealt with this error before by using the following steps:

"a. Open Device Manager
b. Right click the “Unidentified Device” and click “Properties.”
c. Click the “Driver” tab.
d. Click “Update Driver…”
e. Select “Browse my computer for driver software.”
f. Click “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.”
g. Click “Windows Common Controller for Window Class.”
h. Select “Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows version:”
i. Click “Update Driver Warning.”
j. Click “Yes."


This worked last time but after I reinstalled windows, the only option that comes up is the one below:

When I try to manually find the driver, the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver" option appears and once I try to install it, I get the following error.

I've double checked that the receiver and controller work on my laptop which works without a hitch, so I'm utterly stumped as to what the problem could be. I've tried doing system restore and stuff but that doesn't work. Also, the status for the "unknown device" comes up as "code 1", not sure if that's important.

Would really appreciate any help in solving this. Thanks.
