I have not tried it on a PC, but on the XBOX and 360, the vibration settings are with the game being played.
it does not auto-vibrate for you. But to really get it to move, call GG to give help.... :)
Anyway, the setting is in the games.

whos GG? Whats GG?
anyways the feature is in fact called rumble. there is no vibration at all in any of my games even in my racing games. they all recognize the controller with no problem. i know that there is a rumble feature even for the pc, ive read other threads from other people with the same problem and simply installing drivers of some sort which i tried and didnt work for me. anyways i guess its not too big a deal. even without the rumble its alot better than my previous saitek p2500. it was a little too big and had fewer buttons. plus there were only 2 shoulder buttons and they were huge. the xbox controller has 4 shoulder buttons plus 2 extra buttons my saitek controller did not (start and back buttons). Im suprised even the middle light lit up after windows installed drivers it found on windows update. Im quite impressed with it. Maybe microsoft isnt so good with OS's but when it comes to game pads they sure od a good job. maybe they should hire some of the guys from the xbox division to get on the vista job. they seem to know how to make a customer happy.

These are my opinions at least -- the old xbox controller had the buttons positioned well, but the controller was too big.
The xbox 360 controller screwed up the position for start -- back, and it is too small for me. If I play games like "Blazing Angels" or the sort, my thumb starts hurting after about 40 min, and then I cant use the 360 for a couple of days.
on the xbox, it was not an issue, I just had a harder time getting the right control properly.
Anyway, on the xbox and 360, each game has the 'vibration' setting to get the buzzing or rumble as you call it.
go to any xbox game and look under controller config and it will state Vibration on or Vibration off.
Although I have not tried it on my comp (something about MS HW on an MS OS scares me), so instead I have a logitech controller, and they have many varieties to fit anyone.
There should be drivers avail from MS, but I believe that this controller on the PC is a new thing so maybe all of the bugs are not worked out yet.
Have fun with it.

the day the usb xbox 360 controller came out was the day it was available for use on a pc. its my pc games im talking about that arent giving me the rumble feature. i dont have an xbox 360, used to have an xbox and i also like the original xbox controller. not the first, the second xbox controller. the first was fricken huge! if you dont know exactly whats wrong maybe you could do some research with me to help figure this out as im sure im not the only one to run into this problem. much appreciated!
