360 Controller + XP = Woes Aplenty

Howdy H/A. I've been using Microsoft's wired 360 controller on my computer for a good long while now. I was filled with glee upon hearing that Geometry Wars had been released over Steam, as I assumed the controller/game combo would be much like the console experience I love so dearly. As luck would have it, this very moment was chosen by my computer to start some funny business, namely a weird audio stuttering whenever I plugged the gamepad in. I had been using Microsoft's old drivers and later XBCD, so I uninstalled everything that I had related to the issue and reinstalled MS's newest drivers. I now get no response at all from the controller; it doesn't show up in the Control Panel list of game controllers. In my Device Manager there's an entry for the controller, but it displays this error message when I check the properties: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". I've uninstalled the device manually through the Device Manager, but that doesn't seem to do any good. I am now rather at my wit's end, and would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks!

mainly installing the drivers (after you've uninstalled them and restarted your computer to make sure they're completely gone) before connecting the controller to your PC?
