Aeroscout Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I dont think there is any... sorry. If your haveing too much trouble with Vista, downgrade to XP.

VMFA-Blaze Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 How's he going to be able to install XP.. HUH?? You can't buy XP anywhere and his laptop came with Vista installed.. Maybe he might be able to get it installed through a builder somewhere, but that's illegal isn't it ..

Aeroscout Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 you can uninstall the operation system and then re-install XP. Just make sure you back everything that you want on disk. Or, you can have two operationg systems installed, or, you can have XP running within Vista as whats called (I think) a "virtual machine."

hitman Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 I "could" buy Xp, but theres no point in it. Ive allready forked out damn near 2k for this laptop and all the accessories that came with it...Im not spending another 500 bucks for 2 OS's just to lose one when I upgrade back to vista. You upgrade to Vista you lose your Xp license. I wont deal with that until Microsoft rescinds that order. You know...if I didnt need a laptop so desparately for college I would have just built my own rig and had Xp pro Corp on it instead.

CoNa Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 There is a fix for SST and vista now. I use it sucessfully. Download d3drm.dll and place it in your C:\Windows\System32 catalog and then install joydrivers followed by your identical SST Programming 32bit XP drivers http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-.../download.html PS. don't use the vista drivers for the stick but re-install the XP drivers, otherwise it will not work. 1
hitman Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 Ill test it out momentarily. Guess its a good time to point out that I dont see a system32 folder in Vista... Edit: Ok. I managed to find system32 by typing it in the address bar in IE. Inserted it, installed Xp drivers AND SST software, didnt work. Reinstalled Vista drivers but kept the .dll in the system32 and the SST software untouched. It works, you got rep inbound. :thumbup: Indeed this has been a good night. Finally got Walmis' Eagle to display ALL of the textures and his weapons pack to recognize all the skins. This is a secured victory over my fight with Vista.
CoNa Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Good news, It's allways nice to hear that things work out fine.:)
kaos.dll Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Hell yes it works fine after installing the XP driver for my X52pro. THANKS ! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hitman Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 Funny thing...I can launch the profile launcher but the SST wont use my profile. It loads up but no key commands are being keyed in. What gives?
CoNa Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Have you saved the .pr0 files as well as the .dat files from previous pc? I had the same issue, but just copied in the .pr0 files too and eveything worked fine. I seems like there is some issue with SST to profile the .dat files sometimes.
hitman Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 The editor would load the profile but it wouldnt really do anything. The I button would just sit there and blink at me. And yeah I created a keymap and made it a profile and they are both stored in the same folder. Ill post a screenshot of that if you need it.
hitman Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 Only made one profile, but Ill download some other users profiles and give them a shot. Edit: Downloaded someone elses profile and gives me an error message x52.dat does not contain a profile.
CoNa Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 I see that you have the pro version. Are you sure that the profile you have downloaded is for the pro. What I have heard the pro cannot use the standard profile stright off, but need to be modified. It seems like this profile issue is something just for the pro owners. The standard x52 works fine. In worst case you can try re-doing the profile. Just print it out before starting. It's hard, but better than nothing.
warthogmadman987 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Or its called a dual boot.... And its pretty sweet working 2!
CoNa Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Sorry, my bad, it's Kaos.dll that has the pro. I used the XP drivers to get it working. But you could not get the SST working with XP and used the vista drivers? Hmmm. Still think you should do a new test installing the old xp drivers. reboot and then try again.
hitman Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 SST software for XP and Vista drivers for the stick. Ill double check to make sure I have vista drivers and not the other way around. It keeps telling me there isnt a profile for the profile I load.
