For what it is worth, I have a tip that works for me when I have experienced the "flashing light" syndrome in the X-52 stick.
I use XP SPIII and I have this happen approximately 50% of the time after I do a cold start up
I used to unplug the USB cable and recalibrate, but I noticed that if I just go to the shutdown screen and select the "standby" mode, the stick comes back to full functionality (and with steady lights) when the system comes back out of standby.
This only takes a few seconds to perform and I don't have to recalibrate anything.
I don't know why this works and I don't know if it would help on Vista or Win 98 systems, but it works on my X-52 setup and saves me a lot of aggravation.
