when you install the drivers, you must only plug in the stick when it asks you to, not before..
if you messed something up, you might need to do the complete Saitek removal procedure, which not only includes uninstall through control panel, but removing registry entries for Saitek,,, (don't screw up and remove files you want to keep...).
There are more procedures if you need to do a real clean sweep, but you probably hopefully don't need to..

It's possible, you either got the wrong file, got the wrong profile for the software version. Or, when you try to place a correct file over a wrong one, it is not overwriting the old file with the new corrrect one.

Also, I personally never use 'Windows Update' for the Saitek update.. it has no clue... it just wants you to use a file it thinks you might need..

btw, do you use the Saitek forum ??
