X52 PRO installation problems
 

I have many problems trying to install Saitek X52 Pro in my Windows 7 pc (everything updated to the last version, drivers etc).

I am interested only in the throttle with its rotaries etc (I am happy with my T16000 joystick)

So, I followed the instructions in every detail but the pc froze during the process an my only solution was to backup the pc to a previous point (before installing Saitek drivers) and remove Saitek drivers, files etc !

I tried to install it on my old laptop (XP only USB2.0) and everything was ok).

I googled internet and it seems to be a known problem: the incompatibility between Saitek drivers and xHCI/USB 3.0. To tell the truth I connected to Saitek cable to a USB2.0 but anyway the problem should be connected to che xHCI …

The solutions seems to be to disintall/disable it but I do not know what could happen to my pc … will it be reversible or not ? and I should rule out the USB3.0

I have a few questions, but feel free to ignore them, I could understand you:

- Do you know if I can connect the Saitek X52 PRO plug&play without any driver from Saitek ? should it work ? because I would like to use the throttle and all the rotaries on it

- Do you know xHCI and how and what to do if I want to solve the problem without crashing my pc ??

1. You will need the saitek drivers.
2. I'm using the throttle only too, in combo with sidewinder(drivers come with W7 OE) and G940 pedals(with logitech drivers)
3. Your prob is neither related to the saitek drivers or W7, but maybe Teamspeak and/or keyboard/any peripherals you use(best guess).
