abak Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Hi, I wonder if anybody can help me to get my Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals working in Windows 7 x64. Basically, my problem is that when I plug the pedals, Windows 7 doesn't recognize it, and it appears as 'Unknown Device' in Device Manager. When I launch SD6 drivers from Saitek website, I get stuck at "plug in the controller..." page: I do plug in, but Next button remains disabled, and I cannot press it. I also tried to explicitly point Windows to C:/windows/temp/saitek/bla-bla-bla folder, but this didn't help - it says that it cannot find suitable drivers there. I also have Saitek X65, so I unplugged it, removed SST software and tried again - no luck. I tested my pedals with Ubuntu laptop, and everything works fine, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Generally I have a feeling that SD6 version is simply too old and is designed for WinXP. Fine, I don't really want to program the pedals, so any generic microsoft driver would be enough. Unfortunately I have no idea how to tell Windows that this 'Unknown Device' is just a 3-axis HID. Is there any option to fix this, or shall I just return the pedals to the shop?
joey45 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Software or drivers? Have you downloaded the recent versions? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

abak Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 You should check your Windows updates, or USB controller version of mother-board - maybe.Thank you for this hint, I downloaded latest BIOS and chipset drivers from Asus website and checked Windows Update to make sure that I'm running on the latest versions. Unfortunately, still no joy - got the very same 'Unknown Device' in Device Manager. Software or drivers? Have you downloaded the recent versions?Drivers, the latest that I was able find on Saitek website.
Devrim Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 As a result, your rudder pedal isn't working right now, or are you just bothered about Windows says "Unknown Device"?

abak Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Isn't working at all. Doesn't appear in gaming devices, doesn't appear in DCS. So nothing really changed after bios and drivers update.
aeliusg Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Have you tried all of your USB ports? Sometimes these things don't play well with USB 3.0, or you may have a bad port.

abak Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 Problem solved. Today I returned my pedals to the shop, and they replaced it with new one (same model). Everything is working perfectly so far.
