He he he, I will try to keep my cool. I did try different USB ports. I also tried to load the drivers from the disk. Even read the instructions. They said to load the Drivers first then load the SST. I believe somewhere something is stuck.... I even went to Saitek's web site and DL thier IL2 profile. When I put the file in the C/Saitek/Software file, it does not work. The files I backed up before reformatting dont work either. Ok, that is not so bad. I am willing to take the time to make my profile from scratch. However, I cant even do that. As soon as I try to Load any profile I get the dreaded message. Even if I try to create a profile I get this message.
Should I Edit my Registry? Maybe if I remove the Saitek file and start over.... Does anyone know how to do this? I am really sorry to be such a whiner. It's just that my new PC is now useless. I refuse to fly without a proper profile. In all these years, its the first time Saitek has let me down.
Thanks for trying to help. I am sure somewhere along the line I will get sorted.

Cheers.
