Why do you think you need a utility for calibration?

I've got one, but don't use it.  The SST software causes more issues than it's worth.  Calibrate in windows and in AH and you'll be good to go.

win7 doesnt have a calibration utility for saitek.

so you're saying that if you look under "devices and printers", windows doesn't show your saitek joystick? then the basic drivers aren't installed. that joystick should show up under devices and printers as well as under device manager.

that's not what i said, what i said is that there's no calibration utility for saitek in win7.   you dont need it, it auto calibrates when you just move the stick around.

      its a little utility i found online that resets calibration in registry. Calibrating in windows doesnt always work. i dont have a powered usb hub.

so, your joystick calibrates itself to the system just by moving it. interesting. strange that the saitek i owned didn't do the same thing in win7, had to calibrate it.

windows has a built in calibration utility for most joysticks, it's labeled "game controller settings".

funny i just checked mine dont have.  go figure.

right click the icon that represents your joystick in devices and printers....you will get a popup menu.

I have X52 Pro and XP Pro, and there is no way to calibrate it in Windows ...

Is this what you are looking for?

In Windows7 on my PC to clear the calibration registry (VID_06A3&PID_075C) I unplug X52, delete the folder in regedit.exe, plug back in and move all axis through their full range.

_0460 is an ST290 and _0763 are the Saitek rudders on my system.

There are other threads here in the forum that cover this but I don't have them bookmarked.

that explains the magical properties of the x52 and here i thought semp was giving me poop. sorry semp.

in windows xp you had to look in control panel under game controllers and most joystick drivers allowed windows to run a calibration. you could also go the long way through device manager but that was a pita.

windows 7 is a bit easier but, i'm guessing it's depending on the native drivers used for the stick. wonder what something like the tm warthog does.
