X 52 pro No MFD display except "mode" and "clock" after upgrading to "Smart Tech"??

I have searched this forum and Saitek Forum for a solution for this.

I Upgraded the software for my X52 Pro. "Smart Technology" or somthing like that.

Now MFD on Throttle does not display the Profile I have chosen nor the Button presses i am inputting.

When it boots up it show's " Saitek X52 Pro Flight Stick" for about 3 Seconds. When the MFD lights up, all display of words or information has stopped.

Im must be insane thinking that "upgrading software" is a good thing.

I have tried to revert back but had lost last Config so to speak. And have had trouble finding a solution. I can't seem to install what i had on my Back up drive to revert back also. So im kinda stuck. Several "fixes" I did find almost broke my Computer. "editing Reg files"

Is this MadKats takeover thing been screwing up saitek? Should i sell it and Upgrade?

I humbuly ask for assistance and direction to the answer.

Thank You

I have the same "problem" that my mfd doesnt show those information. Mfd was working 2011 and early 2012.

Altough the whole mfd is pretty useless so I dont really care that it is not showing anything but clock.

I Found the Driver Release at this location:

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/xpvista/

It was from a link in an old Saitek Forum. I'm using vista 64bit Ultra. Unfortunately it works for about 15 min then crashes. Locks up the SST programming software. A relaunch of the ProfilerU and profilerGui starts up the X52 pro fine, and your good to go. But MFD does not display again untill a restart of the Computer.

I'm Thinking I should just forget it and Upgrade all the way.

The MFD started working again on my computer when I downloaded newest drivers and re-installed them. First I uninstalled all Saitek Software from my computer.

Good to hear good news! But just in case I will stay with current driver version just in case... :thumbup:

If it works dont fix it.

I just had to reinstall drivers for another reason and was surprised that the screen started working.

Do you guys have the version of the drivers that allows you to change the color of the POV 1 LED? I'm currently running Driver version 6.2.2.4 and Software version 7.0.2.7.

No, i don't. Im on SST 6.6.6.9. Driver 6.2.2.0 with 9.9.9.9??!! lol. I'll try the "newest" later maybe. Right now it seems to work all the time. So i don't want to break it.

Well, that didn't work for long and X52 pro was locking up again. I took the advice above. And after an exhaustive uninstall of everything Saitek from my Computer, and hours of scanning register keys and deleting anything Saitek. It seems i had a dual install of old 32bit drivers and 64 bit. With everything cleared out i installed the latest and greatest. No issue so far and everything is working as it should.

Yayyyy!! :pilotfly:

Hi

I am having this problem now. MFD just shows Saitek X-52 Pro when starting PC and thats it. No mode or profile showing although the functions for my profiles work.

I am using W7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Thanks

No help I'm afraid, just a similar story.

My X52 Pro always worked perfectly on XP but with an upgrade to Win 7 64 bit I lost the used of the MFDs too. It seems to be a widespread problem with Win 7 as over the past couple of years I've heard a lot of people reporting this and similar but it seems to be a pure lottery if you get it working or not.
