This problem only started today - a system restore back to when all was working fine didn't fix it.... Before today I always had the square, green Saitek icon in the system tray at startup, but now it doesn't appear. So with no profile loaded, the X52 does nothing. It is all lit up and ready to go, but unplugging it and plugging it back in (to any USB port) doesn't help.

 

The only thing that fixes this - but only until I reboot - is to reinstall the X52 drivers (not the SST software) - although the installation informs me the files are already there and asks me if I want to overwrite them - then the icon comes back and I can go ahead with my flying.

 

But how do I get the icon back automatically at every boot, as before. I read on the Saitek site something about going into Windows/Temp/Saitek folder and running one of the msi packages there, but that didn't fix things.

 

Clicking on the Profilereditor.exe file in the Program File folder (/Smart Technology/Software) brings up a message saying no controller is detected - though it's there, all lit up, as I say. Clicking ProfilerU.exe does nothing. Which exe file is supposed to load the icon into the system tray? Maybe those exe files aren't what I am supposed to be using.

 

What's gone wrong all of a sudden?? Help appreciated.... I am using WinXP x64 for this FS9 setup (it's not my main FS PC, which is Win7 x64 but is back in the UK whilst I am working abroad) ....

 

Thanks,

No ideas?? :huh:

I reinstalled the Saitek drivers...
