This method is confirmed to work in Windows 7 64-bit with a Logitech Unifying Receiver.
 
 
 
Like in Method 1, uninstall the MotioninJoy application from Control Panel. Then navigate to Devices and Printers and find the device that does not work. In the case of the Logitech Unifying Receiver, the device will appear in the list under its specific or a general name, but will not function properly.
 
 
 
Right-click the device and select Properties. Select the Hardware Tab, then click the Properties button.
 
 
 
In the new window, click Change Settings, authenticate, then click the Driver tab. Click Uninstall.
 
 
 
'''IMPORTANT STEP:''' On the dialog that pops up, check the box that asks if you want to delete the device software as well. Click Okay.
 
 
 
Remove and reinsert your Bluetooth hardware.

The XInput Driver is currently the recommended version to use.
 
 
 
 
 
If you have problems with the above driver package or if (for some reason) you MUST use MiJ:
 
*[http://betterds3.ciebiera.net/ Better DS3] is an improved frontend for MiJ that doesn't have advertising or stupid malware. It's worse than the SCP Driver Package but better than nothing. If you have any issues changing controller settings (button mapping, deadzones, digital/analog sensitivity, etc.) in SCP, try using Better DS3.
