The answer to your X-52 Windows update problems

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As with most Windows XP drivers they think their better are than others.If you update your dvrs at the Windows Update site the new drivers are stored on your hard drive and Windows sees them as being the newer drvs so thats what gets loaded .To remedy this problem uninstall the SST software using the Windows Add/Remove Programs in the control panel .Now go to C:\Program Files\Saitek\Software and backup (or simply copy and paste elsewhere) your saved Profiles .Then delete the Saitek Folder on your C drive at C:\Program Files\Saitek . Now go to your C:\Windows\System32\drivers Folder and look for these 3 files : SaiMini.sys - SaiNtBus.sys - SaiH0255.sys . For safety reasons Cut and paste these dirvers to a new folder of your choosing such a C:\Sai.Driver hold .These are the drivers Windows will load when you install the SST software. Now I dont know which driver is the offending member but it doesn't matter as when you reinstall the SST software the drivers from the disc will be used. After this reboot and reinstall the SST software from your X52 install disc.....Done all you have to do is return your saved profiles to their location at C:\Program Files\Saitek\Software\ and everything should work.
This worked for me but I might add that I had already rolled back a driver in the device manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers .If you look here you can go to the properties of each and look under power and you will see the Saitek controller . I rolled back the driver for the one showing the controller .I did this because the windows update history file showed that the 2 drivers I had updated were for the USB and HID componets of the Saitek controller. The rollback though did not fix the problem. The aformentioned repair above with the drivers did. Now if everything works you can safely delete the driver save folder you made at C:\Sai.Driver hold .There you go .Gotta go fly LOMAC now..
