Continue to click on Next and Finish to accept the installation until the Registration screen appears.

8. At the Registration screen, select Check this box to register now and follow the on-screen instructions, or do not select this option and register later.

If you are using the SST Programming software then you will need to obtain an updated version to work with the new drivers that you have downloaded from Windows update. To obtain the new version of the software, follow these steps:

1. Open the Game Controllers icon in Control Panel, select the controller in the window and click Properties.

2. At the top of the Properties window click the About tab and you will see a link that says “Click here to download the SST Programming Software”.

3. Click on the link and Windows will give a download prompt asking if you want to open the file or save it. Choose to save it to your preferred location on your computer’s hard disk and the file will start downloading.

4. Once the file has downloaded, find it on your hard disk and double click on it to install the programming software.

The features include:

1. Quick and easy setup in any game

2. Personalize the controller settings for your favorite games

3. Configure your controller with an on-screen 3D model and interface

4. Multiple setup option for each controller – ideal if a controller is used by several people

5. Program special moves with sophisticated timing features

6. Special game setups available as ‘Profiles’ from the Smart Technology CD

A Profile is a custom setup for improved gameplay – consisting of a set of commands that are pre-assigned to the buttons or axes of your controller. There are pre-written Profiles available on the Product Companion Disk that accompanies this device.

The Profile Editor allows you to program the buttons on your controller to perform different actions within your games. This is especially useful if the game you are using does not have its own screen that allows reconfiguring of your buttons.

1. Double-click on the Saitek Smart Technology icon the install left on your desktop.

2. In the Profile Editor, choose the control to which you wish to assign a keyboard command. You do this by left-clicking on the control’s cell in the control list on the right of the screen.

3. With the cursor flashing, type in the key commands and then click on the green tick mark when complete.

4. Repeat this procedure for all the buttons you would like to program and then click File, Save at the top of the Profile Editor window.

5. Give the profile a name (it is recommended you name it after the game for which the profile is intended) and then click Save.

To enable the profile either click the Profile Now icon at the top of the Profile Editor (it looks like a black and yellow crosshair) or right-click on the controller icon in your taskbar and select the name of the profile from the pop-up list of options.

You will notice that when a profile is loaded that the controller icon in your taskbar has a green square behind it, indicating that a profile is currently loaded. If you wish to unload a profile simply right-click on the controller icon and click Clear Profile from the pop-up list of options.

Nearly all the products that are returned as faulty are not faulty at all – they have just not been installed properly. If you require more detailed assistance with using the SST Programming Software, click on Help at the top of the Profile Editor and then Manual.
