Windows technical question type thing.

1980-20..

I Have desktop pc hooked up to the tv in the front room and i want to use a wireless xbox 360 controller to control it.

I looked online an found a program called joytokey that lets you map mouse movements and button presses to joysticks and pads.

It works quite well except if a window opens that requires admin permissions and i cant get the program to run at start up with full permision thingys. Ive tried task scheduler and the program tries to start but seems to fail.

Any ideas.

there is a few things you can do.. some music software I use is a bit "picky" like that.


UAC

or you should be just be able to change the app on it's own .

Should you need to work under win xp/w7 with Admin's rights without compromising the system then I would recommend considering SuRun - a very robust and solid piece of software to replace those infamous Billy-thingy aka UAC.

(Not sure about w8 though)
