~S~

I get occasional wierdness too - I use my venerable old sidewinder precision pro in combination with the throttle half of an X-45 set up (the stick sits under my desk in disgrace, I don't like it at all, and I need to use my sidewinder because the x-45 rudder on the throttle unit is unusable)

Sometimes in the past I have lost either aileron or elevator control on the stick at odd times. Apparently this is due to some other HID  device or driver kicking in and confusing things - that's about as technical I get with regard hardware...   - thanks to the guy on ebay who helped me with that!

Anyway, I seem to have solved the problem (I hope) by turning off some of the settings under Control Panel > System > Device Manager

I turned off the Saitek Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse settings under Human Interface Devices. I think this means that I can't program the saitek part of my set up to do anything more than I can assign in game, but that's all I really did anyway.

Hope this gives you a head start at least,

Cheers,

Pads
