It seems to me you need to unistall the ScpDriver, and install it again but this time with a check in the "Force install" box. I solve it to me when ScpMonitor were showing me "disconnected" while I had my controller connected via USB or bluetooth. Now I can use it via the USB cable, but when via bluetooth windows doesn't register my inputs.

We are the same here, I get exactly the same message, that is why I start ScpService using the command prompt (net start "SCP DS3 Service"), but I can tell you that even with that message I can use the controller via USB cable without problems, so if you are going to use your controller via a USB cable I don't think you must worry about that message. Of course I recommend you to check the "force install" option, even if you use windows 7 (as I do).

Perhaps this is an issue. SCP DS3 Service isn't showing up at all. :/

Yes, that IS the issue. As I said, you should unistall and install again. This was I did, plug your ps3 controller via the USB cable and also plug in your Bluetooth device (if it was plugged in during your first install) then go to the run "ScpDriver" as administrator, and click the "Uninstall" button, now disconnect your devices (the ps3 controller with the usb cable, and the bluetooth dongle (if you are using one)), restart the pc, and follow steps 1-8 from the first post, but this time make sure the box "Force install" is checked. It solve the problem for me, now I can use the controller via USB cable but sadly I can't make it work via Bluetooth, apparently it is paired but Windows not recognize my inputs.
BTW, if you are using a BT dongle check if its hardware id is suppoted (see first post of this thread)

Can somebody check if the these log reports are showing someone wrong? Windows doesn't recognize my controller inputs when I use the device via Bluetooth connection, and apparently my BT device (USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001) is supported according to the list in the first post of this thread. I can use it via USB cable without problems but I would like to use it wirelessly, any help will be welcome.
Scp Monitor:

ScpService log:


ScpDriver log:


EDIT: Now you can properly see the logs.
EDIT 2: Added more lines of ScpService log
EDIT 3: I follow instructions in post #623 (link below) and the rumble features work perrrfect! But Windows still doesn't recognize the inputs (buttons presses)... any ideas?

I'm not using bluetooth, I just want my controller to work with USB so that I can play my games. I'm going to try that, but if it doesn't work I'm looking into how to install a .exe as a windows service manually.

EDIT: I didn't have Visual C 2010 installed, or rather I didn't have the tools needed to install an exe as a windows service. I'm installing it now (I knew something was up when I couldn't find installutil.exe)

EDIT2: Gaah. I tried re-doing all of the steps but it just won't install the service! I tried using the Visual Studio Tools command prompt to install the service as well but with no luck. This is so frustrating!

Do you mean the ScpService? If you can not see "SCP DS3 Service" service after restalling the ScpDriver with the "force install" option enabled then, well, I don't knbow how to help you anymore, maybe you need to download the xbox controller drivers (see first post of this thread for a link). BTW, if you see the message:
"Cannot start the service from a command line or debugger. A Windows service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command."
after trying to execute ScpService, don't panic, as it says you can start it with the NET START comand:
net start "SCP DS3 Service"
if that doesn't work then I sincerely don't know how to help you (I'm a nooby too)

Force Install isn't working, I've tried all of the steps multiple times and the SCP DS3 Service just isn't showing up in my Windows Services! I'm trying to manually install it with Visual Studio's command prompt and installutil.exe but every single time I'm getting

Quote:Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Pro
gram Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\ScpService.exe' or one of its depe
ndencies. The system cannot find the file specified..

Note: This is the case even when I place ScpService.exe in that exact directory, as well as if I enter the directory of ScpService.exe.

Damn, I really don't know what could be the problem, do you have all these?:
Requirements
1. Microsoft .NET 4.0
2. Visual C 2010 Runtime.
3. Latest DirectX Runtime.
4. Latest Xbox 360 Controller Drivers available.
5. Genuine Sony DualShock3 or SixAxis Controller(s).
7. Administrator rights on your PC.

Maybe is something above.

I think I found a post that explain both my problem and yours, check post #494:
http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wr...#pid285943

(Note: Assume you are Braethias)

According to post #494 the BT dongle with hardware id: USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_0134 maybe don't work properly because "is a very early REV of the CSR chip and looks like it don't support EDR properly", (REV 0134); but acording to posts #594 and #597 a BT dongle with hardware id: USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_0100 (REV 0100, earlier than 0134) got to work, so... any ideas why the rumble feature works but not the button inputs?
EDIT: Now I found this: "your dongle is the USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_0100 I think, this is a very early REV of the CSR chip (the dongle I use on my games machine is CSR with REV_7558). It may be that the chip hardware/firmware can't quite work reliably for extended periods."...aaAAA!!

After reading posts: #726, #972, #987, #989, #994, #1004, #1070, #1143, #1333, #1362, #1378, #1481 and this one (#1014):
"@Contrite: your BTH Dongle is a very early REV of the CSR chipset (USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_0134) and doesn't fully support EDR."

I came to the conclusion that my BT dongle doesn't support EDR, I mean it is Bluetooth V2.0 but not Bluetooth V2.0+EDR, and the dongle needs to support EDR in order to read the PS3 controller (DS3) inputs. So, even when the hardware id is listed as a supported dongle (USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001), not all revisions are supported, at least not this: USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_0134, and I think neither this: USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_0100 (I even think is not bluetooth V2.0 but V1.2); also in post @1378 apparently there is a problem with BT Dongle USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_1915, so there are at least 3 revisions of the same hardware that don't work properly. These also: USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_1989 (no inputs, just rumble, same as REV0134) and USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_1593. So there I go. I will look for a bluetooth with EDR. Just hope its hardware is supported.

Somebody knows if some of these Bluetooth dongles (see below) are supported?
Trendnet TBW-107UB (Version 1.0R)
TOSHIBA (PN PA3710U-1BTM)
