Xbox 360 controlller is seen in Game Controllers window as my previous pad in Windows 7

I had my Xbox controller delivered today, so first I uninstalled the drivers for my two previous pads - a generic one and a Speedlink XEOX SL-6566-BK. There wasn't a prompt for a reboot, so I simply plugged the 360 controller in, the driver installed successfully.
Then I tried playing Dark Souls, but the analog stick wasn't working correctly, so I thought that I'll calibrate it and opened the Game Controllers window, but the pad is recognized as SL-6566. Could somebody help me please?

Windows Phone 7 - Xbox companion

Windows Phone 7 owners have one more reason to be proud of their phones, because Microsoft has just introduced a nifty feature called "Xbox companion". While making the Microsoft services even more interlinked than before, this feature allows users to have some degree of control over your Xbox 360 from your WP7 smartphones. While the control is limited at the moment, Microsoft promises to further develop the Xbox companion application in the near future.

I'm super-excited about this!

Hey Optiores2! I would suggest trying some of these Xbox 360 controller for Windows Troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. In that troubleshooting guide,
they have a link for the official driver as well. Please post back if you have any further issues.

I tried installing the Xbox 360 Accesories Software 1.2 - it didn't help. Also tried the solution that user
FRANCISCOXBOXER sugested, but it didn't help either. Still, the controller is seen correctly in the Device Manager, but not in Game Controllers window, therefore i can't properly calibrate it.

 

Hey Optiores2! Is the Xbox 360 controller you are using wired or a wireless controller connected through a Charge and Play kit? The Charge and Play kit will not enable a wireless Xbox 360 controller to be used on a Windows device. For full details check
out
Setting Up an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.

 

@Mister Cizl

I'm using a wired one. I also checked it in another game and there the movement stick seems to be working correctly, but it still is recognized wrongly by the OS.

 

Hey Optiores2! Could you send me screenshots of the controller? Specifically the front, back, and underneath the battery pack. To share the images you will need to upload them to a file hosting site such as
OneDrive and then provide us with the link. Thanks for your patience with this!
