Can't load Saitek X52 pro 64bit profile

[ramstein]

Win7 with X64
---------
Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64.exe
Driver:6224
file size = 4,260 kb
===========

Software:7027
Smart_Technology_7_0_2_7_64bit.exe
file size = 58,855 kb
========

sizes and names were read off the control panel / 'about' tab, when you right click the icon in the task bar..
=====
From device manager:
Saitek X52 Flight Controller (HID) driver ver 6.2.2.4 Date 4/4/2008
Saitek X52 Flight Controller (USB) driver ver 6.2.2.4 Date 4/4/2008
====

when you install the drivers, you must only plug in the stick when it asks you to, not before..
if you messed something up, you might need to do the complete Saitek removal procedure, which not only includes uninstall through control panel, but removing registry entries for Saitek,,, (don't screw up and remove files you want to keep...).
There are more procedures if you need to do a real clean sweep, but you probably hopefully don't need to..

It's possible, you either got the wrong file, got the wrong profile for the software version. Or, when you try to place a correct file over a wrong one, it is not overwriting the old file with the new corrrect one.

Also, I personally never use 'Windows Update' for the Saitek update.. it has no clue... it just wants you to use a file it thinks you might need..

btw, do you use the Saitek forum ??

[SEE]

You are using an X52 Pro (Black) and not a X52 std (silver/Black) - the drivers are different - each needs the correct driver.

BTW, Is the first X52 that has been installed on the PC?

Do you have access to another PC or Laptop?
If so, install the stick using the correct Saitek driver for the windows OS version installed (to eliminate any possible fault in the stick itself).

Once the Driver has been installed - open Control Panel and check the driver has installed correctly by checking that you can access all the features for the X52 Pro, such as LED/MFD brightness, deadzone adjustments etc.

Then Install the SST software and see if it works.


If it works on another pc then I would delete SST, the registry files for Saitek, etc, then re-install again but using a different USB port

Here's my symptoms:
1. I can load & edit X52 Pro profiles OK in the SST editor software.
2. Using the "test profile" button in the SST software fails, no mapped keystrokes are being sent to the screen (or to notepad).

I was dealing with these two exact issues recently but also, custom profiles were not working in-game - only the main axes and primary buttons such as fire. Anything I had programmed in the profile editor were not working in game.

Here is what I did to correct all these issues.

Your *.pr0 files should be located in:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Saitek SD6 Profiles.

I advise making a copy of this folder in a safe place just to be sure, but the install routine described below will not delete these files.

1.) Download Correct Drivers and Software: <--- Click

Selecting from : Pro Flight range
Selected product : X52 Pro
Selected OS : Windows 7 and Vista 64 bit

2.) Leaving X52 Pro plugged in - Un-install both software and drivers.

There are two entries in Control Panel\Programs and Features:

a. Smart Technology Programming Software 7.0.2.7 (Mad Catz)
b. Saitek DirectOutput 6.2.2.4 (Saitek)

3.) (IMPORTANT) UN-PLUG the X52 Pro and Rudder pedals (if you have them.)

note: At this point I did not re-start the computer although it may be a good idea to do so just to make sure the drivers are unloaded.

4.) Re-Install new Drivers then Software (In that order)

a. Run the Saitek_X52Pro_Flight_Controller_SD6_64.exe and plug in the X52 Pro and rudders when told to.
b. Run the Smart_Technology_7_0_2_7_64bit.exe

Now I was finally able to test my profiles in the built in profile tester, and also, my profiles were working in games again.

I have a sneaky feeling this issue started from installing fresh drivers without un-installing old ones first.

Hi Guys
Sorry to but in, but new to this FORUM stuff.
Looking for help on exactly the same problem,bought new x52 pro flight system last week, all connected up,software loaded,ran button test page, no problems, configured new profile for a game, saved it, it shows up in the " saitek SD6 profiles\profilesv2 " folder but refuses to load with the same error message "test.pr0 does not contain a profile for this device. The device has not been profiled".

Also tried downloading all the preset profiles from saitek website which also show up in the profikes folder, but none of them will load either with same error Msg.
Any ideas??

Ref. Above
Problem solved due to advoce from "Ra`Kaan" {02\20\12 - 12:42am}
Followed his instructions easy peasy and all was well. Test page working, profiles loading,different button test screen displayed.
I think Problem stems from the software disk supplied with the product, If you ignore that and download drivers and SSD software direct from SAITEK website ( i just put mine to desktop) then run them from there all seems to be OK.
So now a Happy Bunny, many thanks
