I have used MotionInJoy before, and it never worked. I even tried to use it on an older computer, but still nothing. I'm even trying to use Scp Driver as an alternative, and still nothing. I think this is bad luck like Leadified mentioned. And my laptop is pretty decent (8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, Intel Core i7 2670QM @ 2.20 GHz, 64-bit OS) except the graphics card I can't change. I wouldn't mind that the controller is wired all the time, but I'd like that it turns on when it's plugged on the computer.

There is better DS3 which might work fo you. It's a bit more work to install but I got it to work with my laptop.
I use MotionInJoy on my pc wkith mixed results. It requires a certain order (ritual) to get it to behave. Always use the same USB port, start it first before any games, set it to emulate 360 controller and don't forget to press the activate button in the control panel so that the controller does a test rumble. Then it usually works for me, although with Fract OSC half the time I still got the camera automatically turning upwards and spinning uncontrollably. Frustrating. Sometimes it crashes my DS3 too, all 4 lights on constantly and remains unresponsive. Plugging it in to the ps3 fixes it.
A 360 controller is probably easier, ofcourse mine doesn't work with windows, too old I guess.

Intel HD graphics is the most common GPU on Steam, you would think games should be made to work with that. My laptop has an NVidia GeForce GT 740M 1 year old now. No clue where that sits on the scale of recommended GPUs. My desktop has a NVidia GeForce GT 230, 4 year old pc. I don't see much of a difference in performance. My pc still outperforms my much newer laptop with some games, both 2.4ghz I7, 8 and 16 GB ram, pc has a faster HDD.
