First off id like to say GOOD, i wont have to worry bout that phantom 47N, hopefully this lasts till in used to my pedals 8).  

I would try deleting the jsmap.cfg and see if that does it . Do all your axis's stay assigned ok? I had a saitek Evo that would reinstall itself at start up ounce in awhile , and i would have to remap in AH  . Good luck (i guess) heh

Sounds like files in the settings folder are marked read-only.  Did you restore from a CD, perhaps?  It would be normal for them to be left marked read-only.

Roscoroo, I had this happen to me once. What it turned out being, was I was not logged into windows as the administrator. Wouldn't save any views or settings.


Was a pretty quick fix for me.

cheers,
