How do I install a ps3 controller on my PC?

How can I install my ps3 controller to my pc?

• I want to be able to play DC Universe Online on my pc, but I am horrible on the keyboard. So I downloaded this thing called XPadder which allows me to use console controllers such as my PS3 controller and my XBOX360 controller. Since I already had the DCUO game on my PS3, I want to use that controller on my PC, but I don't know how to install it. I would really appreciate the help. P.S. My PS3 hard disk file is corrupted which is why I'm playing DCUO on my computer.

• Answer:

  1 Download the PS3 DualShock3 Controller Driver file from http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=25580 to your desktop. 2 Unpack the file. 3 Connect your PS3 controller to the computer using the USB cable. The lights on the controller should begin blinking. 4 Go to the Control Panel from the Windows Start menu and click on "Systems." 5 Click on the Hardware tab in the window that pops up, and then click on "Device Manager." 6 Click "Human Interface Devices" in the Device Manager screen. Underneath will appear the option "USB Human Interface Device." Right-click on this and select "Update Driver." 7 Click on "Install" from a list or specific location in the pop-up window. Select the "Don't search I will choose..." option on the next screen. Click "Next." 8 Click "Have disk" on the next screen and then choose "Browse" and select "Desktop." From there, click "ds3 drivers" and choose "ds3drv1.02." Click through until you get to the file beginning "Dual shock." Open this and install the file. 9 Go back to the control panel and click on "Game Controllers." Select "PlayStation 3 Controller" and go to Properties. Press the Home button in the middle of the PlayStation controller. You should then see the cursor in the box to the left of the window respond to your joystick when you move it.
