Strange problem with Saitek Yoke

FS9 running on Windows Vista Ultimate 64. Having a problem that developed only recently.

When booting PC it hangs when loading USB Controllers if the Saitek Yoke is connected.

Used to work fine before, but for some unknown reason this problem has arisen out of the

blue. So now I have to boot ensuring the Yoke is not connected but once in the OS I can

connect the Yoke and it works well.

 

Any ideas why the boot sequence hangs? Any help much apreciated.

 

Thanks

Best regards

Joaquin Blanco

Yes, seriously thinking to upgrade although I must say Vista 64 is working for me very well in every other respect.

I must be one of the few people who likes this OS.

 

Richard, thanks for your reply.

Best regards

Joaquin, it could also be a simple driver conflict. Happened to me recently but on Win7 with one of the nVidia drivers and has happened even with WinXp before with some sound drivers. In this case I had to boot safe mode, remove the driver completely, let the system boot up without it then reinstall the drivers, albeit a later version. Problem was gone!!

I would believe so

 

+1 on the upgrade tho!!
