Good decision, but I will point out that the saitek drivers are a PITA too, I could go into great detail here, but someone ( Stryker7 ) has already made several posts in the thread at M4T, where all of the reasons were described as to why someone, actually anyone with an X45 would still want to use the alternate drivers.
Alternative ? Yeah, a guy known as Dhauzimmer wrote drivers for the X36, which also worked with the X45, and he even upgraded them to work with x64 OSes later.
And then there were several alternate programming (scripting) languages written for the X45/ with Dhauzimmer drivers.
The post is here.

Notice that the thread/ posts are many years old, and as a result, I can not guarantee that all of the information will pertain to Vista or Win7, but it would be worth a try. But just read the post to see WHY I and many others abandoned the Saitek drivers/ SST software.
All of the links provided in those post are dead with the 1 exception of the drivers which are still available. As for the other stuff, I STILL have the Biped scripting software, and many many scripts that I can give you. If you want them, I can upload and provide you with a download link.

IF I can help I will. BTW, I can no longer use or test the X45 in it's orignal configuration, I have retired the Stick, but the throttle is still in every day use here. Mine has undergone a mod/ conversion much like the one here,

Mine is using the updated BUO836A and there are no wires connected to the Saitek board except those that light the mode LEDs. All the others are connected directly to the Addon board.
Funny though this topic, as it could just as easily fit in the "Original IL2 " discussion just a few post down from this one, as that was when and why I started with the X45 and it's alternate drivers/ scripting tools.
