Hi all , I started fsx yesterday & the saitek control was playing up, after lots of re setting defaults etc , I finally re installed the drivers , then when in fsx using the hat switch to move my eyepoint the screen went into slide show mode , using face track noir its fine , so un installed the joystick driver , re installed no different , did acceleration repair then fsx wouldn't go past the first launch screen , deleted fsx cfg go through adding trusted fails to start , delete cfg say no to all add ons , fails to start , went back to last registry back up , no different , went back to last Windows back up , no different , did a full repair , no different , moved log book. Bin , no different. Moved log book back Tried log book tool & it says it can't find it . Short of full re install I'm stumped , is there a way to find out where its failing , thanks.

EZDOK LOL!  Seriously you need to look at your exe.xml file.  You could have some corruption there and secondly reset your controls.cfg like you did for fsx.cfg.

Ok , will try that , thanks.

Fixed the non launch of fsx , I came across a log folder , in there it said which dll files failed to start , they were associated with sweetfx removed them & it started . The slide show head movement isue I had that started this whole thing off in the first place was a joystick setting that had changed all by itself .

Everything is back to normal now . Thanks.
