Hi,

I had to replace my old Sidewinder Precision 2 with the above due to
mechanical failure. I also have the Saitek Rudder pedals previously
installed and working.
WinXP recognises the device on plug in but gets to a stage where it says
*cannot install this hardware HID Class The data Is Invalid.
Looking at Device Manager the Saitek AV8R Joystick Is Present with an
exclamation mark. looking at properties reveals: The drivers for this
device
are not installed
Click Reinstall Drivers.
Hardware update wizard.
Please select the best match for your hardware from the list below

1.Saitek AV8R Classic Stick(USB) 5.6.0.54 Saitek c:windows\inf\oem16inf
2.Saitek AV8R Classic Stick(USB) 5.6.0.54 Saitek
d:winxp\drivers\0461\sai0461.inf
3.Saitek AV8R Classic Stick(USB) 5.6.0.54 Saitek Windows Update
4.USB Human Interface Device 5.1.2600.2180 (Standard System Devices)
c:windows\inf\input.inf

Items 2,3&4 are digitally signed and have the green tick . the machine
selects No2 which is greened out. Trying each in turn ends as * above.
I have checked the registry and there is a key and subfolder at address at
a
USB\VID_ Key just above the one for the rudder pedals. I clicked on this
to
give permissions applied as there are 2 group and user names
in the top box
Full control &
Read are both ticked and greened out. I then unplugged and plugged in AV8R
device. No difference.
There are still registry entries existing for the Sidewinder but I am
unable
to reinstall this now! The same data message is given.

I apologise if this is a bit long winded but I have spent hours looking
for
a resolution.
My copy of XP has all the WGA stuff and is validated.

Hi Chuck

Yes you will see this opened prog is in with above including one from a
Windows update session.
Now Saitek tec supp says "This is a well known Windows XP problem that
applies to all sorts of devices that are being installed and sorry they are
unable to help.
