WIN 10 with X-55 Saitek Rhino - Rhino Software Doesn't work

I read all the forum posts on Win 10 and the X-52/X-55, and decided to upgrade to WIN 10 this morning. ED and my X-55 are working just like Win 7. All's good.

However, the Saitek software does not work. Click one of the four buttons, HOME, PROGRAMMING, SETTINGS, & SUPPORT, and they go to the next page

The problem is with SETTING & SUPPORT pages. Nothing works.

I am unable to:-
Alter any settings on the x,y, and rudder.
Submit a ticket, or
Contact us.

My concern is that if I have an unsuspected failure, I will not be able to re-calibrate my stick, or throttle.

Both stick and throttle are not recognised in the windows 10 game controller.

Any help would be appreciated, but I believe that this is a Saitek problem.
 
Thanks for the quick response. I'll download from your link, and get back.

I hope it helps.
Please let me now.
I am still hesitant myself about installing windows 10.
I think to play it safe I will install it in a double boot with Windows 7.
 
WOW. Thanks Iskaroit. Worked great. I did visit their page previously, but didn't download the drivers or install the software because there was no WIN 10 version.

The new Win 7 version worked perfectly. I've given you +rep.


Great. That is also one worry less for me then.
I would go mad if I could not play Elite with my HOTAS.
 
As I said in a previous thread, I'm currently stuck disabling the software and having the joystick properties up in the background so the joystick doesn't misbehave (with the X52). Not sure how bad the situation is with the Rhino, but I imagine something similar.

I hope the new software doesn't take too long...
The issues with the mode-switch and following keypresses while using throttle are driving me mad! Only the first keys of my programmed mode-commands are being executed, the rest just won't happen since installing Win10...
 
Well I've got a dual boot going with WIN 10 and Win 7 and the exact same problems are on both, so this is a hardware problem, I've put a ticket in with Saitek/Mad Catz, I hope they aren't going to stall me....in the mean time i am breaking out the V-1 and learning all the keyboard commands.....:(

Have downloaded the new beta windows 10 drivers throttle tests fine but the stick doesn't seem to operate at all on the joy.cpl test prog in win 10. May have to return to win 7 drivers they have been working fine previously.

UPDATE>>


Although the flight stick doesn't seem to be able to be tested unlike the throttle, in the win 10 joy.cpl properties it is greyed out, it still works fine in game so the new Saitek win 10 software and drivers seems to be fine after all in operation with ED.
