Saitek Gamer's Keyboard

Where can I get a working driver/software for the Saitek Gamer's
Keyboard? I downloaded the one off of Saitek's site for 64-bit (released
today) and the 3rd step in the intallation says "Plug in the devices you
wish to update the drivers of", but both my keyboard and sidepad (what I
need the drivers for) are already plugged in. I also can't find the
software that runs the sidepad. Can anyone help me?

If you have the latest x64 driver and you are still having problems with it
contact the author - in this case the manufacturer for direct support on
their product and driver.

David, have you tried going to Control Panel and using Add Hardware?

David, I just tried this myself. When the "plug in devices" message appears,
you just leave it for a minute or two and eventually the "next" button will
enable itself and let you continue the installation. The extra software for
the command pad is on the same page right with the drivers, 13MB zip file.
You get quite a lot of "unsigned/inf" messages but just okay them all and it
works perfectly.
Hope this solves it.

There the software is :) They must have released it after I downloaded
the drivers :)

Mow, during the installation, it says it cannot find hidserv.dll... I'm
running 1443, and I can't continue the installation. What do I do?
