Only get one 360 pad to appear?

[Roamer]

Hi guys, any one playing Fifa09 with two 360 controllers (wireless).
I can get only one to appear in game. If I switch off the one designated ONE and switch on the other one that works so it's not like on eof them is duff.
I've tried switching them on after fifa loads up or restarting the pc with them both on but can't get more than one to work. The only options I see are keyboard/mouse and one controller.
Oh I'm running 32bit xp

Any help? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

It`s a common problem withe 360 wireless receiver. The same thing happens on FIFA 08. Their is no way to fix it at the moment.

That sucks.
So using official microsoft products means I can't play multiplayer with my mates?
What can I do then, just get another third party controller?

I think wired 360 controllers work fine.

My solution to get FIFA 09 working with multiple 360 controllers,is to run FIFA 09 through Windows VISTA. It now works flawlessly, YIPPIE!!!!
