I may be the only one with this problem but here it is. I use a travel laptop computer when I am working out of the house. I spend 80% of my time in hotels for the time being, unfortunately. It is an Asus G73jh with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have 8 gigs of ram. Video card is ATI Radeon Mobility 5800 series. It is very fast and runs AH very well. I was having a lot of freeze problems early on when I got it. Memory, disk drives check ok. No detectable viruses or spyware. I uninstalled all the Asus software junk that came with it and that solved 99% of the "freeze" issues (computer freezes and stops responding, all I can do is push the old on/off button). Was using X-52 joystick for a while but prefer CH products. I can connect the CH Figher Stick, Pro Throttle and pedals and they check ok with Windows 7 and AH. I can also fly with these controllers no problem. The problem is Control Manager. I installed version 4.5.1 and it freezes every time I try to calibrate.
I will post all my other system info if necessary. Any "good" advice will be appreciated. :( :( :(

I run a ch stick, with saitek throttle and pedals. Didn't bother installing control manager, just mapped my controllers via AH directly. No issues with the js etc at all.
Unless you are running specific profiles for AH and other games, I'd uninstall it.

Yep, that's what I am doing for now. Think I'll switch back to the Saitek pedals. There are minor issues calibrating CH Pro Pedals under Windows. Anyway, I like Saitek better than the CH's. The Pro Throttle is one smurfy piece but works fine and has more buttons that function without added software.... :aok

you should post over at CH-Hangers.com. Someone over there will be able to tell you what is going on.

Agreed, the author of the Control Manager hangs out there (although it is ch-hangar.com). I run it right now with no instability issues, so not sure what the incompatibility might be. I am one of those who would not run it at all if I weren't messing around with an MFP, given how well AH handles the controller mappings out of the box.

Thanks guys, I forgot about ch-forum. Headed there now.
