Controller issues on alienwarealpha

[williambaker66]

Hey guys I'm having issues using my xbox 360 controller on my alienwarealpha, for my hyperspin. A while ago the screen on my alienware, was taking a long time to show the desk top screen. My friend said I could do a refresh to get it working properly. Once that was done, I noticed I had it had installed, windows 8.1, instead of the windows 8.0. Now all my pc games are in tact and everything else is working, except for my controller, which doesn't work now, and when I go to hyperspin, I can't use my 360 controller to spin the wheel, or load games. Can anyone give any advice on what I could do to correct this issue. Oh and I also checked the dongo for the controller, but that's not the issue. I was told I can download Windows 8.0 over the windows 8.1. I need help guys. Thanks.
