push the PS3 button on the controller once
go to control panel go to devices and the ps3 should be there



right click the ps3 controller and click properties

after you've assigned the keys save

NOTES
after unplugging the controller or restarting your computer you will most likely have to run ps3sixaxis_en.exe again and recalibrate the controller

with vista and Win7 run as admin

if ps3sixaxis_en.exe doesnt work try this
copy and paste ps3sixaxis_en.exe in c:/Windows/System32
go to start menu and click run
type in CMD click ok and your command prompt will pop up
type in ps3sixaxis_en and press enter
that should work

personal note:
using the PS3 controller on the PC is really only worth it if you play RPG's or RTS's something like that because it really cripples your ability on FPS's
...works on Win7 32bit >.>
