Saitek SST Programming Software?

[SEE]

Suspected for a while that the SST software was causing the Blue Screen of death on my PC. Not so much with IL1946 but frequent blue screen crashes in WOP. However, I remapped one of the top hat switches as a shift Key for IL1946 and the instant I hit the key - Blue screen of death ('Bad_Pool_Call' but sometimes 'Driver _IRQL_Not Less Or Equal'! Really hacked off so I checked on the internet and found a lot of threads concerning SST, conflicts with TrackIR and causing PC instability. Anyway, I have removed the SST software and mapped the stick directly to the functions I need with no intermediate software and everything now seems fine.

Has anyone else experienced problems with this software? BTW, this was following a complete re-install of the OS (WIN XP 32 bit SP3) and Nvidea drivers, etc, as I thought it may have been a duff registry or driver issue. I only have WOP and IL1946 installed and it was crashing with out TrackIR enabled.
