kaos.dll Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 I've bought 4 GB of RAM and so I deceided to upgrade to Vista x64. Now my Saitek SD software won't start - it always crashes with "Pr0fileEditor.exe don't run". Any ideas about that? I run the 6.2.2.4 version from saitek.de website. Saitek great hardware but the software is shit! :( :joystick: thanks. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Airway Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Saitek has soooo many products....which one are you talking about? Joystick? Pedals? Keyboard? Gamepad? Makes helping way easier, if you tell the reader what you mean. ;) Regards, Airway
kaos.dll Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 Every product uses the same SD software. I use the X52pro, the Rudder Paddels and thr Gameing Keyboard. Each driver installed after that the SD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Airway Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 That might be the problem ;) You have to download and install the driver and the software for each product separately. You can't use f.e. the X52 programming software for the rudder pedals. :D Watch the size of the software here: You see? The software is great but the problem is sitting 60 cm in front of the monitor in 90% of all cases ;) I recommend uninstalling all drivers, software and hardware and start over again. Airway
kaos.dll Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 I've used Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64.exe - 4260 KB Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64_Software_.exe - 18672 KB Saitek_Pro_Flight_Rudder_Pedals_SD6_64.exe - 2080 KB Saitek_SST_Software_64.exe - 21353 KB you see... Different file names, different versions etc. With XP and Vista x86 I only installed one SD version and it worked, too. I will uninstall everything and download the drivers from Saitek UK - maybe this will fix my issue. (and yes you can use the SD of the X52pro to programm the Rudder paddels) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Airway Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 With Rudder Paddels maybe :D Ruder Paddel - sehr lustig :D Don't forget that things change under Vista64. You can't expect things to work there, you got to work under XP 32bit or Vista 32bit. Let us know if you were able to download the correct but english drivers and got them to work. GruЯ, Airway
kaos.dll Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 that's what I've downloaded now. You see it's the same SST for the Paddels and for the keyboard and a different one for the x52. Now I will uninstall all Saitek products, unplugg em and start over. (Saitek needs better software developers!) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Airway Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 grab from here Don't you think that might confuse him more, as he already is? Not nice ;)
kaos.dll Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 Don't forget that things change under Vista64. You can't expect things to work there, you got to work under XP 32bit or Vista 32bit.Yes there are some changes from XP to Vista and some from x86 to x64. But Microsoft released the developer information a long time ago and it's NO solution to change the OS. I use more then 3GB of RAM that's the reason why I need a 64bit system. The point is, Saitek make buggy software! (but great hardware) And if I stop reading/writing here I will be able to reinstall my products... ;-) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
kaos.dll Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 BTW... from the FTP: SST_SD6_16_64_Software.exe 3236 KB 15:10:00 I don't think this is the complete SD6 software with 3 MB... That's another funny thing about Saitek... You get thousands of different versions. Each one with special bugs ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
kaos.dll Posted December 6, 2008 Author Posted December 6, 2008 issue solved. I've deleted all public folders because I don't need 'em. The Saitek SD try to open c:\users\public\documents\saitek sd6 profiles and if the folder don't exist the software crashes. After I created those folders and checked the registry setting it works. That's the reason why I say they do a very bad software development... ;) Thanks anyway. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
