I see what you did.

I really hate to tell you how to do this STEP FOR STEP, because it's in the damn instructions, but... here we go..

Firstly, make sure you have the XB360 controller installed on your system. Make sure you're clicking the right drop-down menus. If you're POSITIVE that it's not installed, you can get that from the MS Site. Then your computer should be able to recognize that you have the controller. The easiest way to tell is if you press the Home button in the middle and something pop ups on the bottom of your monitor screen.

Then go to the xbcdplus website and install XBCD. After you install XBCD, you can do the portion where you manually update the drivers (that's what the XBCD installer was for).

The rest of the instructions, as I stated before, are self-explanatory. Your problem was when you couldn't even get the system to realize you had a controller, so you were essentially modifying nothing.

Those text files are files specifically made for XBCD, and you open them via the program.

Really, this took me a whole 8 minutes to do. If you really want to pull the trigger, you might be doing the internet a favor (j/k, suicide isn't a recommended troubleshooting technique).
