Nostromo game pad software shows in task manager...

Hi all,

I use a nostromo n52 speedpad with gaming (and sad to say its hard to go back to gaming without it). I installed the latest drivers (vista x64 are the most up to date ones) and upon installation it works like a champ. After a shutdown/reboot however, upon re-entering windows, I get a popup asking for permission for the program to run/make changes, hit yes and nothing happens.

The task manager shows it is running (nost_LM.exe *32 for some reason and not the 64 bit version...), but it never shows up in my program listings, and I cannot bring up either the loadout manager or the configuration manager windows.

Is there a way to get these things to show up? Belkin corp. is kind of sketchy on driver releases, but I figured I would check here, maybe someone knows a workaround or something.

I am running RC 7100 x64 with Kaspersky Anti Virus

Thanks!

Edit:
Upon uninstalling, I am given a message that a reboot is required because some things could not be removed without one. when the process finishes, I am able to bring up the loadout manager and configuration manager windows like normal.

Im having great trouble with this in windows 7. I installed the driver for the vista 64 bit, as from what I see, that is the closest support for Win7 there is.

After it installs, I plug in the n52, and the window pops up that it is installing the needed drivers.

It works in its default for playing a game, in that its a basic a s d f w e r set up.

When I open the profile loadout, it just shows the grey circles with x's in them. It's not recognizing my n52 at all, so it won't allow me to load out a created profile, which means I can't do anything to customize the pad for playing......

Never mind. Just picked up the 52te and it installs and works just fine. Guess there isn't a problem out there that can't be solved by tossing money at it.

Any help?

I went around and around with mine (which was the 52te) before finally giving up and buying a Logitech G13. I still prefer the layout of the 52te, but I spent more time messing with it than I did actually playing games. At least the G13 works. :)
