Author Topic: X45 with Dauzimmer drivers..calibration problem (Read 179 times)

After two nights of frustration I finally got the Dauzimmer drivers working with my Saitek X45. Then, last night I was about to go to the HazardScript site to figue out how to set up my AH profile. But, just before I did so (I was on Ron Hunt's page) I noticed there was a "Calibration Utility" availiable for the X45/X36. Stupidly I figured I would do that first.

I read and followed the instructions exactly. But, when I calibrated in the Game Controller properties I noticed that in the test of my stick afterwards there was a problem. Hitting a button would immediately cause about 3-4 buttons to highlight. The POV hat actually threw me back into Control Panel for some reason.

I then spent the next hour trying desparately to re-calibrate and fix it.

No luck

Any suggestions?

My next step is going to be to remove the Dauzimmer drivers and re-install them..I just ran out of time last night. Is this the right course of action?

Has anyone tried the new Saitek drivers for the X45 - the one that actually works with Win98..my OS currently? If so, how are they? Perhaps I should remove Dauzimmer drivers and go back to using Saitek software...although I am afraid to open that particular can-of-worms again.

Please advise...thanks.

Curval, you running Win98 or WinXP?

Urchin - Win98

Oh, I'm running XP. I haven't tried the Win98 drivers on my computer, I had a bear of a time getting my X45 to work on Raubvogels computer with Win98. His was doing the same thing yours is, with multiple buttons showing up as being 'pressed', even if I left the stick alone.

I think he downloaded some sort of USB update on his computer (and like every other update there was for Win98), and it started working ok.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Well, I had it working great until I tried to calibrate the damn thing.

I am going to remove the drivers entirely, and remove all entries in the registry and start from sratch.

Must have it done (and a profile made) before the TOD.

Wishful thinking? ummm yea.
