IT WORKS!!!!!
It can be one of two things that was the problem.
I had AH1 installed, which also has a stick.cfg file in it. I blew that file way and then in the AH2 folder and started again from scratch..calibrating, assigning j/s etc.
Amazingly it worked.
Then I noticed I had erased my entire profile by making one change and then saving that one change only to the same filename.
So it was either the profile file was messed up...from so many changes etc., or my stick was trying to work with the other .cfg file. Probably the profile though I imagine.
I redid my profile, saved it ...and bingo.
Thanks for the help.
