Unfortunately I have already tried that.
I wonder if it has something to do with my Motherboard or USB Controllers.
I had even called “Thrustmaster Tech Support” today and they also told me about the vista compatibly mode with admin rights.
Tech support said they are working on a “real” windows 7 32 & 64 bit install software/drivers for HOTAS Cougars but did not know when it will be available for the public.
I am at a total loss here!
Thanks for your help
