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 (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
