Problems with X52 new June driver

[CoolDead]

Hello

I upgrade the X52 driver with the new driver in windows update. But now i can't put a profile in. The profiler say that i haven't a correct dispositive.

The versión of the new X52 driver: V 5.3.0.40.
The versión of the SST Software : 4.3.3.2000

Any ideas :confused:

Thank's

same here....sad days when we can't even rely on MS's Driver Certification...I did make a bit of headway on it though...I dl'ed the new SST software version through the link on the "about" page of the X52 Control Panel ( SO SLOW ---4-5 kbs/s, and I have cable that's rated at 5000 kbs/s (confirmed at DSL reports) ) need more speed Saitek ;) ...after installing this (ver 4.3.3.2053) I was able to get 2 profiles working and 2 that are hopeless, so it's back to the drawing board for them I guess...so what's the scoop Saitek? is there a fix for this on the way b4 too many check Window's Update and download the defective driver? :eek: anyone else in this boat with Cool and I?

[Driverk]

I've the same problem. Downloaded the windows update and then installed the software linked in the control panel and now I cant load in my profiles. Tried uninstalling everything and then re-downloading and installing but have the same problem. Any news of a fix?

[Driverk]

I've uninstalled the new drivers/software, deleted saitek files from my hard drive, deleted saitek registry entries and tried to install the drivers/software from the original disk but it still doesn't work. I can get it to load a profile with the old drivers/software but not all the assigned buttons work but they did previously. I do not want to have to format/reinstall windows just to get my saitek x52 working again. Any other advice would be appreciated. I'm running windows xp pro sp2.

MMMMMM, intterrrestingk

Downloaded version 4.3.3.2053 tonight (Australia) at 60k. 2.95Meg total.
I have noticed a slight difference with the new MS driver D/L, as compared to the previous version, it seems to be a bit too quick (not as fluid).

Still concerned about running the new SST though..................
Any guinea pigs out there?

Did you del the oem inf files for the bad Saitek drivers in C:\WINDOWS\inf folder as well.

I had no end of trouble getting WinXP Pro SP2 to ignore the updated MS stuff. I now have this in my OEM inf file (Class="Saitek Magic Bus") DriverVer=05/15/2003, 4.1.0.0 << (Sai0255.inf) DriverVer= 10/20/2004, 5.0.0.2000 <<

It's worth a look. When I was in trouble I del everything Saitek in the registry but forgot the OEM.inf files and Windows was still loading the duff MS drivers even though I did un install and del everything else - see -

My advice is wait 'till Martin is back to work tomorrow and for anybody thinking of updating -don't do it yet.

Ray

Another point worth a mention - look in msconfig for SaiMfd.exe and SaiSmart Now I'm not sure on this but virtually certain they were not there before I used the MS update and since then they loaded on start-up and as they used a chunk of memory I recently unticked both from loading. So far, even after rebooting, no adverse effects noticed. As I said I'm NOT SURE on that aspect so do so at your own risk although it's easy to put it back to where it was.

Thanks for the reply Ray, I did delete the oem files, I followed the UKSupports advice in this thread http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=7206
but unfortunately it didn't help. I'll do what you suggest and wait for them to return from their holiday.

yep I too followed all those BS steps but to no avail :mad: , however, we do have some good news, I recalled that when doing the install of the new drivers from Window's update, the installer did a System Restore Point...so I checked it and there it was...done the Restore and all is back to normal...no new driver but who cares hehehe, the old ones with the old software work fine !!!...check your restore points folks, you should have one too, unless you have it disabled or these drivers were available for other OS's also.... Good Luck and hope it helps!!! :D

Great job HardTicket, it worked :D I can now use all my profiles again albeit with the older drivers/software.

[CrimeScene]

I had the same problom with the X52 i just got,Saitek help said to go and click on the link also and still did not fix it,what I just did was clean everything out of my PC (reg inc) and reinstall the drives I got with it,and it works just fine now.

You will want to use some reg cleaner when you do it as some Saitek stuff will not delete from the reg,but becuse you will be deleting stuff the reg cleaner will pick up on invalade ext and delete the rest of it.

LOL just got my X52 yesterday. So far its been a joke. I have to unplug and plug back in the joystick from throttle from time to time just to get to work. Now I went to install there great SST software so I could program one stupid button so I could use my teamspeak from my joystick... If select the profile my computer crashes out... :mad:

I’m not sure what info would be helpful on this issue. But I’m running XP (32bit) with SP2 on an AMD machine with everything updated to current.

Since the drivers and software on saiteks own site seems to be worthless. Does anyone know of a stop where you can download older SST. Maybe one that works?

[NukeOZ]

To Mr Saitek.

After Reading all these post's about the problems with the drivers etc..etc..
I am now wondering why I am recieving my brand new X52 by mail next week??

If all these fine people are having so much trouble then why should I waist my money on this hardware???

I do have mates that use the X52 and yes they did worn me about some problems.
But being keen to have what I believed the best joystick ever, well I just went out and purchased it over the net.

Now all you that are having trouble are now saying what a dip head..Hum well I hope not because I assure you If this X52 does not opperate as it should then you Mr Saitek will get it back..and I will have my money refunded.

But lets hope that this is only a minor issue that can be easily fixed so that all of your CUSTOMERS!!!!!can use the X52 as it should be used with no pain.....For games......

So over to you Mr Saitek..... :cool:

This message will self distruct if not replied too by two full moons. :)

The number of people having trouble is actually very small compared to the number of people who have no issues - any posts that you read on a support forum are going to be from people having trouble (otherwise they wouldn't be posting). If you want to be sure that you have no issues then just use the CD that comes with the stick.

[awspeed]

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.. :D

[awspeed]

If at all possible NEVER use the Windows update to update the drivers for controllers ,CPUs,GPUs,chipsets.....Use the Device makers drivers..I've had problems with the Win drvs before.The dvrs the makers of the device use are usually newer and better. For an example (for you all knowing hardcore gamers) just look at the old dvrs windows update shows for the graphics card you have.

[UKSupport]

No, that's not quite correct - all the drivers submitted to Windows Update by third party companies are written by the third party; they're not "Windows Update's" drivers - they're the company's drivers, so they're not to be mistrusted necessarily.

In the case of graphics cards though you're in a different situation - driver updates come thick and fast and are not always submitted to Microsoft's WHQL programme to be signed (a requirement for them to appear on Windows Update) so usually the best course is to get the latest one from the manufacturer's/chipset's website.

[Tj*]

Roll back the HUMAN INTERFACE/ Saitek USB first then the HID, then reboot.

else u'll (at least I did) the old USB and the new MS update HID drivers.
which FWIW, seemed to work OK.

rolled back OK without having to edit or moves file/ folders or system restore, though I did have the SST software removed prior to this for the mouse cursor from hell reasons. (me likes me intellimouse)

:confused:

[awspeed]

The only reason I mentioned rolling back the drivers is because like you I knew Windows Update installed 2 new drivers. HID and USB All you would have to do to fix the problem is roll the drivers back. But not deleteing the offending Windows drivers from C:\windows\system32\drivers... could cause trouble for you again if you reinstall the Saitek SST software again some day. As Windows may very well decide that the newer drivers in the above directory are better than the older drivers you will be attempting to load with the SST installation program. Now I was going to roll back both drivers and be done with it when I realized I didn't want scrap (bad) drivers left on my machine , so I stopped the rollback idea and removed them permantly. This doesn't hurt as the SST install will put all the drivers back .

[ajping]

Thanks a lot for helping me roll-back my drivers. Those instructions you posted did the trick.

[owexar]

Does anyone knowledgeable in how to fix this have advice for me? I've had my x52 for a few months now and all was working well until I updated with windows update. It would not load my profile after that. I then updated using the built in link to SD_WinXP_4_3_3_2053.exe and then found that launcher would not autoload nor launch after that update. After reading around here I found that if I unplug and replug the x52 it then kicks off launcher. I'm so dissapointed I don't know if the x52 even works right with the new drivers as I haven't played it yet but having to unplug it and replug it everytime I want to play with it just isn't going to work for me, my usb ports are on the back of my pc.

I don't have rollback abilities as I don't have restore points enabled. So what advice do you have to get back to a working state? I don't mind going back to the original drivers without rollback? (I wish Saitek would post the original drivers on the website because I can't locate my disc right now).

Thanks.

[UKSupport]

We're trying to look into this problem at the moment but can't reliably replicate it. However, just because the icon isn't there it doesn't mean that you can't use the stick - you just have to go through the slightly longer process of opening the SST icon on the desktop, opening the profile in there and then loading it. You should find that the programming still works.

[owexar]

Thanks Richard but I believe it still does not work. I'm assuming you mean from the programming module clicking the "profile now" icon (after Opening my profile)? I do that and it does not activate the profile as the x52 still says "No Profile" on it. I tried looking through the help page from within the programming module but it didn't say anything about the profile now button. :( I did try one of the buttons that generates a single keystroke in notepad but it doesn't work.

Thanks again for your help.

What a conceited reply from a Saitek employee !! your supposed to be here to help.

I too had the same problem as mentioned above, unable to load any profiles, I uninstalled and reinstalled the SST software to no avail, then I came to this forum for help and realised that I too had recently carried out a Windows check for updates and had installed the optional update "Saitek - Input Devices - Saitek X52 Flight Controller (HID)" and since this had been unable too load any profiles. I did a restore to a checkpoint before the windows update and now all is fine.

Thanks to those forum members who posted the help.

[AceUK]

Errr NO that still does not work ... think you need to look into this some more.

[UKSupport]

I fail to see what you think was conceited (or unhelpful) about the reply - I was merely addressing the person's concern that all he was seeing was issues; as I said, this is a tech support forum so of course all you're going to see is people having issues - that's what it's here for. Also, as he was concerned about the update causing problems I simply suggested he used the CD that came with the stick - again, I really don't see any form of conceit there.

As for your problems with the icon, we're still looking into it because it really is something that we're having trouble replicating. As soon as we get anything I'll let you know.

[allennsn]

Guys, I had the same problem and found a fix. Not sure if this has been suggested but I just rolled back the drivers (HID and USB), restarted the machine and everything worked as before. To roll back the driver, you go to Device Manager and select the Saitek X52 (HID and USB) under Human Interface Device. Roll back both drivers and it should work fine again.

ps: I had system restore turned off so this is the only option for me. :D

[connan]

Same problem here, vanilla XP, driver installed from origin disk, things going well.
Click on "Download STT Programing Software" and following the instruktions brings an error afterwards by click on "Profile now" and sometimes a Bluescreen.
I'm german an don't know what "Roll back" means (sounds like a button i've never seen or can't translate) so help would really appreciated :cool: btw: i'm able to got the origin config to work as described above (delete some files in System32 folder...) but i want to use the new stuff :(

[UKSupport]

Connan, if you've got the 4.3.3.2053 software then you need to also update the driver for the stick using Windows Update.

[connan]

Thank you, thats it, now all works fine but was a hard way...

Thanks again

connan

[Pendragon]

I updated the software to v. 4.3.3.2053 and had crashes. The only way I could then enter windows again was using F8 during reboot. I then reinstalled the original software. After rebooting the PC everything was fine but I like to have the latest stuff insalled, so I insisted and went to windows update to update the driver and installed the new SST (4.3.3.2053).

Now, each time I boot, the profile launcher (the little icon in the lower right tray) doesn't load. No way I can load it using the start button in windows, it can only be loaded when unpluging / repluging the controller.

It works that way, but I would really like it to work the way it's intended. I know you're looking into the problem, that's why I included the steps which led me into it in the hope it may help you resolve.

When comes saitec with aX52 with a force feedback system.

[DavyDyMonD]

I had the same trouble. After hours of messing about and attempting to re-intalling even the old software, I don't know how many times, plus modifying my Profile(s), I gave up and did a restore on XP.

Everything is now working - EXCEPT - my MFD goes off after a while, and especially in the dark. Can anyone help me here?

Any news about this issue? Over am month now since you last post about that and I doubt that this is a seldomly occuring problem cause I know 3 guys (all with an X52) here in my hometown with the same problem. Would be a strange coincidence ;)
Sorry to say that but in my whole career as a computer scientist I never saw a any other computer devices company taking so much time for fixes of quite obvious bugs than Saitek.
The deinstallation routine e.g. of the new SST which just reboots without asking the user if an old-version is found (is this fixed now at least?) is something that should never happen. Seems either you don't care much of your customers or your QA-department should do some more homework before relasing drivers...

My X52 is performing perfectly - with the old drivers!

When I purchased the X52, January 2005, new drivers were being tested then. I agree with everything you say about Saitek - good product - very poor tech support.

I'm not a programmer but do spend large amounts of money updating PC's and trying the latest products available and in 10 years I have never found any manufacturer with such a poor grasp on the technical aspect of their product.

The Saitek I have works with the old drivers and I used them with my latest full Computer upgrade with no problems - I have to be thankful for that. I'm in no hurry to test new drivers from Saitek again but will keep an eye on this thread just out of interest.

Regards

Ray

well i just done a reformat and a fresh install with xp pro..not sure to install old drivers and software from disc..coz i need my old profiles to work..i'll post again to let ya know if my old profile works with the disc set-up..l8r

[ukSleek]

all profiles are loading again :)

just need to re-install games/sims to se if all is ok ;)

If you want to be sure that you have no issues then just use the CD that comes with the stick.

The ONLY problem I"ve had is having to disconnect the stick power to get it to work again.

Using the drivers etc off the cd and it works fine alla time. Now if my skill level would only increase to match the equipment. Going from a logicrap 3d extreme to the 52 is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig jump but I persevere.

Worked perfectly, thanks.

[mgoliber]

I also did the driver rollback but didn't work with new SST (June 2005). I did get it to work by then reinstalling original SST, select to overwrite newer file with older version, and when the HID driver discovery came back I chose "Install from a list or specific location", "Don't search, I'll choose which driver to install" and selected the 2003 drivers. I'm guessing the same result from just reinstalling SST from the original disc without driver rollback. Not happy that I had to go to this length to fix though...

[ukSleek]

hi,
hav'nt posted for a while coz i flying online toooo much..all my sims/games work fine again ;)

[ceechow]

Or just dump the buggy X52 and go get a logitech stick or a CH product...Now go pull the trigger and shock yourself!!!

[eCrater]

I did what mgoliber had to do also.(2003 drivers) The setup routine for the new drivers and SST software is simply flawed. Don't get me wrong, the X52 is fantastic, with the original first time setup. I'm sure someone is or will be working on an upgraded installer soon. After all they are listed as beta in the forum. The support here is great. "Beta" is the key word.

"All of these drivers are currently unsigned by Microsoft, however, they all actually pass the WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) signing procedure. We'll be submitting all these drivers for signing in the near future and I'll replace the unsigned ones with the signed ones as they become available. Any that have been signed will be marked with an asterix (*).
When installing these versions, do not uninstall your previous version of drivers/software first - the installation will remove the previous versions as part of the install process."

That last part is what most of us are haveing a problem with.

[DRFlagler]

Some of the members on this forum are being a little harsh on tech support for a problem that was caused by Microsoft. When my computer crashed, the error message referred to SaiH0255.sys. When I did a Google search, I found this forum and found my fix to roll back to the orginal drivers, delete and reinstall the hardware files. I appreciate all of the attention given by the tech support and users of this forum. Thank you... I'm up and running!

[greatlakesp23]

Is there somebody out there with a clear and simple way to make everything work.I installed a few versions of drivers,and the best i found is that when i have all drivers up to date and i try to load a profile,i have a reboot of my PC
and had to reinstall windows to correct bad or missing files.
Is there a good driver i can use somewhere

Thanks for help guys

[missy11]

Use the CD software only. Anything else eventually blue screens here. Another fine software mess. I am only surprised that anything other than the CD software is made available. I managed to get by the BSODs by going back to a system restore (point). That let me get the working software back on. Without going back to a restore point prior to the point of putting on non-CD software, the mini-kb/mouse would not install from the CD, so things like bf1942 wouldn't work right. Backed up a few days and the CD software installed fine. Somebody there needs to really get this worked out, specifically, what to do when a software update goes bad. You need to make it so the old (working) software can be put on, and install 100%, not fail not just once (mini keybd) but twice (mini mouse). And you MUST put the software to install in ONE PLACE, not some at MS and some on your website. Well, I'm convinced know one there knows much about this. And I would have to think very hard to get myself to put any more saitek stuff on my system.


My LEDs on random occasion light up full blast at least once a boot. I have to hit the LED off knob in the control panel, even though the knob is already set to off. Not a big deal compared to the main problem.

[Silver-Eye]

Well, bought my x-52 yesterday and today i had the beautifull idea to upgrade the driver.. well, installed, rebooted and no more Windows!! yep..it crashed completly, and guess what?! i dont know why, but the F8 doesent work anymore!! How could this be?
Why, but why didnt i look at this forum before doing anything??
Im trying to put this toguether, just to do a restore to my windows..
Im really sad.. didn´t had time to try anything worth the x-52

Just dont understand why a "update" can give such problems... is our problem (computer custumers) or a poor tech research by Saitek?

Hi, these files from Saitek FTP solved all problems that I had under Windows XP PRO SP2 :D

SST Software - ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/sst_151205_32.exe
X52 Driver - ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/x52/x52_151205_32.exe

Have fun. :)

I did not uninstall old version first, i simply installed the new one and WHAM now am having lots of problems... first, i found the windows update and thought "cool" so i downloaded and i couldn't load profiles. so like a good little idiot i checked the faq online & finally i found out that i needed to download the new vers. of sst . WELL that's where it all went downhill !!!! started getting a msvcr70.dll error mess. :mad: . I have been trying for 2 days now to fix. i uninstalled, did reg cleanup, reinstalled, pulled my hair out and am now still in the same boat as before. does ANYONE know how to fix, should i just live with .dll error everytime i turn on my cowputeer :rolleyes: ?

[UKSupport]

Hi,

Are you running any Norton software (Anti-virus etc.)? If so then try reinstalling it and see if that helps.

[halfmoon]

reinstall antivirus?

[UKSupport]

If it's Norton, yes.

[halfmoon]

reinstalled norton, still same problem. any other suggestions? what is that file for exactly? i understand it is a shared file of some kind.

[UKSupport]

In that case you can download the file from here:

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr70

It needs to be placed in your C:\Windows\System32 folder.

[halfmoon]

:D THANKS !! seems to be working again. i just downloaded and unzipped the .dll file and restarted my comput. and no error mess.
now i can get back to aces high !! :cool:

[halfmoon]

i can get the time to show accurately but the date is always one day ahead.
how can i fix this problem? not that big of a deal but kind of strange

[UKSupport]

The date is matched to the time on clock 1, which is locked to GMT. I suspect therefore that you live in the USA and you're only noticing this in the evening when over here we're all tucked up in our beds, past midnight, into the next day.

If you check it in the morning or afternoon, when we're still on the same day as you then you'll find that it's fine.

Aloha UKSupport! Mahalo (Thank You) very much that Information. :)

I bought a X52 thinking it was a bargain. The X52 works great but when I reboot, it will Blue Screen with the Saitek drivers I got from their website. It even Blue Screens when I tried to boot into Safe Mode, so this driver has some serious issues.:mad:

I have to leave the X52 unplugged in order to bootup normal. Vista, X52 amd X52 driver/software is a very bad mix.

I am using Windows Vista (32-bit) if it makes any difference.

Is there much difference between the X52 Pro and standard X52? I think I loaded the Pro drivers for Vista and it worked better. I switched to X52 driver once I located the driver.

I bought a X52 thinking it was a bargain. The X52 works great but when I reboot, it will Blue Screen with the Saitek drivers I got from their website.
when did you download them?
a new set went on the website a couple of days before Xmas.

Yes! It does makes a difference using Windows Vista (32-bit). Because there are a lot of softwares & drivers are not compatible to the Windows Vista.

Buff, there was a problem some of the xp folks were having with the Beta driver. It seem that we could only program no more than 3 button before everything would freeze and random key board presses would start to go wild. Have this been corrected? Thanks :confused:

I don't know as I didn't have that problem.
I'm not sure that the beta>release driver actually changed but the SST has.

Hi,
I've got the same Problem like all the Users before...
I've looked all over the internet for a fitting profile for my X52 so that I can play BF2.. nothing!

Has anybody created a Profile with the new driver version (6.0.10.7)?
The Format is .pr0.
I had problems while creating it.

It would be very nice if someone has a profile for BF2 for me!!
I think there are many other users which would like it too!

Thank you!
