Hi, welcome to TSF

Check in Device Manager to see if it is listed or has a yellow or red flag next to it. It could be under 'Human Interfce Devices' or 'Sound, Video & Game Controllers'.

Try reinstalling the driver and running the calibration software.

A driver is a program that allows your computer to use devices like mice, keyboards and joysticks. Without the correct driver installed, the device will either not work at all or will work with limited features.

Download from http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDow...load-1766.html. Install, then reboot and go into Control Panel to calibrate and configure the joystick.

Or you can download the driver and additional software from the official Saitek website. http://www.saitekusa.com/USA/down/drivers.htm In the Joysticks area, select X45 from the first dropdown menu and your version of Windows from the second dropdown, then click the 'find drivers and software' button.
