Meet you out there commanders, and fly safe. I decided to share this with the community as this has cost me 4 days of trying, rebooting, retrying and re-rebooting to find out and a fair few hours of annoyance, which naturally caused me to lose good game time! I fixed it as follows after downloading the V6 Saitek drivers - google them and you should be able to find them.Ģ) Delete all Saitek/Mad Catz related files from C:\Windows\Tempģ) Delete any Saitek/input related devices showing a warning from your device manager (Computer ! Manage ! Device manager), uninstalling drivers if you get the optionĤ) Check for any the Saitek X52 pro Flight Controller drivers in the device manager under Human Interface Devices and delete them, uninstalling the drivers if you get the optionĥ) Delete any Saitek drivers from C:\Windows\System32\Drivers (Add the "Company" column and sort on that to find them quickly)Ħ) In regedit, navigate to KEY_CURRENT_USER\System\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput and delete and "VID_" subkeys (Careful if you have other sticks too as they also may need reinstalling!)ħ) Reboot PC again, with the X52 Pro still detachedĩ) Run the drivers installation package, the one I downloaded was called Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64.exeġ0) Only when the installer prompts for it, attach the X52 Pro, ensuring you are using a USB 2 port - when you use a USB 3 port it will fail and you need to start againġ1) If the throttle and MFD still not work, run the DirectOutput.msi which you should be able to find here: C:\Windows\Temp\Saitek\Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64_Drivers00000013ġ2) Reconnect the PC to the internet and reboot one last timeġ3) Dont install the Saitek programming toolkit! Doing so upgrades you to V7 drivers and you need to start again! When downloading the latest Saitek drivers and control software however, the throttle would not light up, the MFD was displaying a generic boot message, and upon changing any settings using the joy.cpl applet the PC would be "soft locked": applications start slow and Windows shutdown/reboots fail. The system I was installing on was brand new, and the Windows 7 Pro install was completely fresh and updated.
Right, I hope this may be some help for people that have issues similar as me when installing their Saitek X52 Pro on a brand new Windows 圆4 installation.
