That worked. Thanks so much for your time and effort on this. I appreciate it. Jerry

Yes, ignoring the sharing would be good for me. I do not use WideFS so that wouldn't be an issue. I appreciate your help with this and sorry to take up your time as it turns out not to be an issue with your software. Keep up your great work. Much appreciated. Jerry

Interesting. When I attempt to change the sharing properties of the folder the dialog box stops responding. I tried on other folders with same results. Any idea what would cause that? Thanks, Jerry

That's odd because I don't have any add-ons. I'll try again to remove all traces of FSX and do a complete reinstall. Thanks for your help, Jerry

Loaded the interim update. Replaced the .dll file with the interim update .dll file. Started FSX. Asks if I want to run FSUIPC. No and FSX loads without FSUIPC. Yes and FSX stops responding.

IF I answer yes FSX attempts to load but stops responding and will not load.

After reloading FSX and SP1 and 2 I'm getting an error message when loading FSX. Downloaded and reinstalled FSUIPC4.4.60. FSX loads if I chose to not run FSUIPC4.dll. --------------------------- Error --------------------------- Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third-party software program (add-on): Name: FSUIPC4 DLL: FS new universal IPC interface Version: 4.60a Company: Peter L.

Here is the solution to programming the buttons that were not recognized by FSX or FSUIPC. Answer by OSmith on the Saitek forum: When the control panel is open, the default profile (or any active profile) is prevented from emitting keys and mouse buttons. This means that the mouse fire (button 31) is treated exactly like a normal button, and not programmed to be a mouse button. If you don't use any of the default profile features (like the scroll wheel on the front of the throttle, or the mouse ministick) then you can rename the file C:\Windows\System32\SaiD0255.pr0 or C:\Windows\System32\SaiD075C.pr0 (C:\Windows\System32\SaiD0762.pr0 for the X52Pro) to another name (backup the file first), then unplug and plug in your X52 and the buttons are no longer programmed. Jerry

I found this on Saitek's forum and it works for 1 of the buttons. I have no idea why but it works. Perhaps you can understand. Thought you might be interested in seeing it. i)open registry (start>run>regedit [press OK]) ii)search for "AviemoreCltBtn" without quotes with the following parameters: "search for value" and "match the whole string only". iii)By default the values are: in decimal: 30 or hexadecimal:1e change it to in decimal: 29 or hexadecimal:1d !!!you may find multiple instances, so do it for every one!!! iv)Close the registry, unplug from USB and plug back the stick.

I just discovered that with the control panel open to test the joystick buttons both FSX and FSUIPC recognize the buttons and will accept assignments. I use 2 monitors so I put the control panel on the 2nd monitor and FSX on the 1st monitor. They function as long as the control panel is open but do not function if the panel is closed. Strange, Jerry

There's the rub. FS doesn't recognize them either. Curious as to why they work if the control panel is open on top of FSX but not otherwise. Thanks for your help anyway, Jerry

The joyview program doesn't recognize either of the 2 buttons I'm attempting to use. It sees some buttons and sliders on the throttle but not these 2 in particular. Jerry

The joyview program only sees 1 joystick. I also tried assigning the buttons via FSX and it doesn't recognize the buttons either. The joystick has a USB connection if that matters. I cleared the button assignments in the .ini file and then reprogrammed 1 button on the joystick and 1 on the throttle. This is what it entered: 1=P0,0,C65588,0 2=P0,6,C65603,0 Jerry

Sorry, Pete. I knew to include the version but it slipped my mind when I began the post. I'm using version 4.08. The Windows control panel recognizes the 2 buttons as 30 and 31. If I remember correctly FSUIPC would see these as 29 and 30. I used FSUIPC to program another button on the throttle and used that as example to program the buttons in the .ini file manually. FSX does not have to be running to pull up the Control Panel. When I could not get FSUIPC to recognize the buttons I opened the panel just to see if it still recognized the buttons. That's when I noticed the buttons worked with the control panel open whilst FSX was running also. I'll give the program you attached a go and see what I learn. Thanks for the reply, Jerry

I'm having trouble assigning zoom in and out to a couple of buttons on a Saitek X52 joystick. The buttons I'm trying to program are on the throttle. When I use the pull down FSUIPC menu it doesn't recognize the buttons I'm trying to program. I've tried editing the .ini and it doesn't recognize these 2 buttons either. But if I open the control panel for the joystick to the page where you test the buttons while FSX is running the buttons operate as desired. Any reason neither programming page or manually editing the .ini file would not cause the buttons to operate? Thanks, Jerry
