I got a Blue Screen of Death when I unplugged it.

Any potential reason why?
 

Me too.

Mine displayed so fast i couldn't read it.

When unplugging controller

MiJ seems to BSOD when you unplug the controller while its in use

Forget about my sticks prob!

Like already said before this program is broken.I download a lot of programs and lot of games from a very long time,I expend most time on the computer that you on your game consoles.,besides media etc.And after some time today  can say 100% sure that this program its faulty of chrashing my system twice,I received the blue screen of death both .I was only probing it for some min not even playing.So download at your own risk.

Before uninstalling...

DOn't recognize sticks!What else I can do,Foolows intruction but nothing.This program is completely useless if sticks don't work.I aready have a controller for pc but its a piece of crap.Either way without working sticks I would prefer to stick with my ol control or buy a pc one without all this trouble.Already conect and disconnect.What else coul I do.Think is app is broken.

  Hey Guys, under Profile

 
Hey Guys, under Profile editor I am getting a no controller connected!!! but the button are responding in under game controller in control panel
 what should I do

still cant get it

it shows up in motion in joy and in the game controllers screen and when i test it all the buttons work when i go to play a game the game wont recognize it

I have tried everything,

  • I am using Windows 7 x86 and I can't seem to get my Dualshock 3 to show up in "Devices and Printers" when it's connected through Bluetooth. It can still respond to "Vibration Testing" though...
  • All of my drivers are properly installed (Or so I think), and when I have my Dualshock 3 connected through USB, it shows up perfectly as a controller in "Devices and Printers". Two new icons pop up, PLAYSTATION(R) 3 Controller and HID-compliant game controller. It also adds one more of HID-compliant mouse and HID keyboard device.

you have to redo the first tutorial. you need to run console as an administrator. everything you have to run as an administrator. your pc is atm not in testingmode. do step 5 again and follow every step exactly. it works perfectly for me
