Hi Haj,
I have just been through exactly the same symptoms you describe.
I have just finished building my new PC (Woohoo)

I exported my profiles off my old PC. Installed SGE on the new system. Imported my profile setup started AH up and guess what the Axis, Throttle & POV worked great but the buttons? forget it

. The Autoconfigure had AH as the default profile but nothing. 24 hours later I decided to RTFM (No more hair to pull out).
The solution (Well mine anyway).
If you have connected the joystick before loading SGE (Even for a second) it will be detected by windows and the SGE will not work.
There is a program called "nukeusb" as part of SGE. Remove the Joystick from the port and run nukusb. (Select the cyborg at the prompt). This will remove all traces of your cyborg from the reqistery.
Then reconnect the cyborg and re callibrate.
Worked for me

TTFN
