Simviation Forum - Yet another Saitek X45 question?

I got a Saitek X45 today, from everything I have heard and read they are excellent joysticks, BUT the person I got it from didnt have the installation CD. So I was wondering if I need it? Or will WinXP detect it? I think I can download the drivers etc. from Saiteks website. If I do indeed need the installation CD, does anyone know if I can get one directly from Saitek?

Thanks in advance 8)

Yes you do need the CD. and dont just plug the joystick in as it woulnt calabrate right. I do believe that you can get the drivers online, and if you cant PM me and i will send you a copy of my disk

Yeah I know I can get the drivers from Saiteks website. Grin

So if I download the drivers is that all I need to do, or is there still something on the CD that I am going to need ???

No basicly just install the drivers, and during the installation there is a step that tells you to plug in the stick. Do so, and it will take you to a calabration screen. Set up the stick, then click finish. There will be another program that it trys to install, but unless your using one of their keyboards too you dont install these drivers. If this wasnt helpful enough theres prbibly a support forum???
