Saitek Software and Driver Uninstallation
Ok, First unplug your controller, click Start>Run and type:
nx -Mu -Sk or ny -7
(they are case sensitive - if they're not present don't worry - just carry on)
Click OK. Now go to Control Panel and run the Add/Remove Programs icon. Remove all Saitek and SST Programming Software entries in the list of programs and then go to the C:\Program Files directory and delete the Saitek folder. Restart your computer and the files will all be uninstalled.
Now browse to your C:\Windows\Inf folder
(If you can't see an Inf folder then click Tools>Folder Options at the top of the window, then click View at the top of the window that comes up. In there click the dot next to the Show Hidden Files and Folders option and then click OK - you should now be able to open the Inf folder in the Windows directory)
Look for the OEM0.inf file. Find the highest numbered OEMXX.inf file and double click on it - a Wordpad screen will open up with Informations in it. You're looking for any lines that refer to Saitek (usually at the top of the window). If you don't see any such info close that window and open the next OEMXX.inf file - so if you started on, say, OEM30.inf then you'd now open OEM29.inf.
If you find any that refer to Saitek then close the window and delete that OEMXX.inf file along with its accompanying OEMXX.pnf file. Go through all of them until you have deleted any files that mention us.
Now, next do a ‘search’ for files in Windows using the following search string: sai*.*
Once it's finished finding any files delete them - files only though, don't delete any folders, and only Saitek files. All Saitek files have sai at the start and are usually followed by a capitalised word (like SaiMini.sys for example)
Go to the Program Files directory on your PC and delete the InstallShield Installation Informations folder.
Go to the C:\Windows\Temp folder and delete everything in there.
Click Start>Run and type regedit and click ok.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and remove any of the following entries if present:
