WEll like the subject says i own a Saitek X36 with both the Gameport and USB connections. While flying in AH, and usually during the most inopportune times, the power goes off on the stick. No lights, no input, no nothing. I'm currently running XP pro on a AMD 1.3 Tbird with 256 mg of DDR ram and a Gforece 2 Ti w/64mg of DDR RAM. Since XP wants nothing to do with Gameports it kinda leaves me in a boat without a paddle. Ive updated all the drivers i can and i still get the same problem. Usually for a quick fix i have to unplug then re-plug the Stick back into the USB port and things go back to "normal"
Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated.
