On the site in your post (btw. the link isn't complete) is only a controller file for the 360pad. It saves only the layout of your controller so it has to be empty. Also you have to paste in the controller menu on the left side.

For the next steps take a look here.

This is an excerpt from Wiki:
Setup
Download and install Xpadder (download available at BetaNews).
* Make a new folder: C:\Program Files\Xpadder
* Unzip Xpadder.exe to that folder.
* Cut and paste the following into a file named Xbox360.xpaddercontroller and save it in your Xpadder folder.

I dont understand the interface at all. It does not make sense. there is no obvious startplace.

OK apparently I had to set up a profile that would watch oblivion.

Did you do that?

IF you're using the original drivers:

* You must set the following in My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini
o bUse Joystick=1
...
* It may be useful to disable any previous joystick mappings within Oblivion
o Start Oblivion and go to Options->Controls->Controls->Joystick
o Select an action and press Esc to clear the mapping

It's not really smart to activate the gamepad support and then to go in the game and to unmap all gamepad assignments to deactivate it. The problem with that is, that the analog inputs (left stick and trigger) will not be unmapped this way. So they still work directly with the game and then Xpadder sends a second input. If you only want to use Xpadder (like they want to), you have to set the Joystick entry to 0 to simply deactivate it (standardly it is on 1, so it's strange why they want to edit it. )

To come to the point, you have to deactivate the Joystick entry.

OK apparently I had to set up a profile that would watch oblivion.

Technically the profile only has to be loaded while playing Oblivion. The AutoProfile feature is the easy way to have this to be done automatically with Xpadder.

It works now if I launch from the normal Oblivion.exe, but I am using a modder resource Oblivion Mod Manager that launches the game with Oblivion Script Extender, which does not seem to work. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\obse_loader.exe" http://obse.silverlock.org/

[Primal Fear]

It should work if you select Recent Windows/Select Title.
Have a look on my tutorial for the AutoProfile feature.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\obse_loader.exe" http://obse.silverlock.org/

OK Thank you that seems to work with the original launcher so far, but not with obse.

[cmwcolebrook]

OK Thank you that seems to work with the original launcher so far, but not with obse.

I changed the compatability settings of OBSE by unchecking run as administrator (which normally makes things better) and it seems to be working.

[Primal Fear]

Then the problem is the UAC issue. You can run Xpadder also with admin rights via the compatibility settings to solve this.

[cmwcolebrook]

OK Changed the UAC. Thank you. Almost there.

One last thing. It would behoove you to edit the oblivion wiki to be more effective. I imagine it would help you with marketing and revenue, and time spent on tech support.
