for the xbox 360 controller setup, go here

Just put in the right information ( make sure to pick the controller category ) and it will give you a downlaod, install it and plug in your controller and it's good to go. You can set it up in the options section, you may have to change the input device to gamepad in the options menu of the game, but i'm not sure, never played it for pc :S

Also, on laptops, the right side of the keyboard usually has a second set of digits or numbers under the actual keys, make sure the NUM LOCK light is off ( it looks like [1] ).

alright one more quick question- i installed the patch and got everything to work properly with one exception. my brother played through the first fight and got to the point where cloud is asked his name and you have a chance to name cloud. on that screen you cant use the laptop patch controls to hit enter on that naming screen. does anybody have a solution to this?

That's simple, you just press enter on the keyboard xD

nope wrong. for character naming the controls go back to default despite the laptop patch. i did however discover that if you hold in the fn button and use the enter key as well as teh secondary directional arrows under the letters
