I went into controllers and uninstalled the driver, now only the Xbox 360 wireless receiver remains. Should I uninstall that as well? I think I had problems even with wired controllers so I don't think that's the issue. And I'm not sure where I put my install disc for the wireless receiver...

Also I have a lot of HID's, could they be messing something up?

Edit: Here's something strange I've noticed but never mentioned before.
In the controllers properties window, with both controllers on, it lists the first controller I turn on second, and the second controller I turn on, first in the list. I don't know if there's any significance there.
The properties window for controller 2 appears normal.

Edit again: Well, this is interesting. I turned off both controllers. I then turned only ONE on, the one that had the messed up properties window.
It appears perfectly fine.
Then I turned the other controller on.
The properties window that looked fine before is now not responding to the first controller. It's responding to the second.
WIndows is changing the Joypad ID of the controller once a second one comes on apparently. I have no idea why it would do this.
