SIGH!!!!!!
« on: October 31, 2000, 08:30:00 PM »
Welp I'm grounded again w/ stick problems.  The saitek just stopped working the other night.  I tried reinstalling dx7, then win98 and it still won't work.  The rudder pedals work fine, but no stick or throttle  

 I may be down for a while this time   I'm so broke I can't even afford to pay attention right now...

Udie: USB correct?
Unplug it while your system is running and plug it back in. I get this problem a lot of times and unplugging it then plugging it back in cures it for me.

Udie,

I've had this one also, usually I can fix it by unplugging and replugging. Sometimes I need to uninstall joystick in windows and reinstall everything.

 I've tried unplugging it many times    it did this about a week ago and unplugging it worked then. But it's been out since Sunday night this time and nothing I do works even formatting and reinstalling.  I realy want to fly bad too

Udie i bought x36 few months ago and first one stopped responding after 5 days. They said at saitek, that it has lose cable inside the stick and they gave me new one. Try to plug it to standard gameport instead of USB.
