All today Ive been using my Sixaxis to play Project64 on my laptop - usual setup, got the drivers connected the controller with the usb but now all of a sudden it wont work - the control panel says theres a controller, but it wont recgonise when any of the buttons are being pressed. Also when connected it flashes for the bit, then flashes slowly, then loses all power. It still works perfectly on the PS3.... anyone got any idea?

Just throwing this out there... It MAY be, just maybe, that your USB port can't handle it. My computer is a homebrew and several years old, so this may be why, but I've got two ports on the front of my machine. One of them is very unstable and frequently drops the connection and reconnects, the other is solid. No idea why, it just works that way. Try changing ports. You never know. Also, if the port isn't USB 2.0 speed, that could be causing a problem. I've considered but never tried plugging in my PS3 controller, so I wouldn't really know.

Assuming you're using the default category view, rather than classic control panel, it should be under Printers and Other Hardware (or something akin to it) and then Game Controllers as an option. Take it away from there.

Mmm you can. I use it a lot to play Super Mario 64. Well, make sure your connecting program works, and when the computer DOES recognize it, make sure that on the controller setting in Project 64 that your controller is selected in the dropdown list.
