Are you using a powered USB hub? If not I would suggest you do.

  Windows tends to power down usb and the X52 uses plenty of power with all those lights and display.

 Smarter guys than me can maybe help with the USB power setting but as I said I would get a powered USB hub and you shouldnt have the issue anymore. I used an X52 for years and never had to calibrate it after the first time,using a powered hub.

 Hope it helps,I'd recommend a belkin hub but there are others,not very expensive at around 20 bucks for a 3 port hub.Be sure it is self powered and plugs into a wall outlet.

Same here. Not an issue any more since I got a VKB Gunfighter which I use with X52 throttle.
