Still working fine with the foxy.ini file copied over, it is installed in Program Files (x86).

I went ahead and changed the compatibility mode to XP-sp3.

Thanks for the help.

HCO DRIVER SET????
Where/how do I find this driver?
just got a windows 7 computer--been using 32bit wind. XP
my cougar will not load on 7
I am totally without knowledge on how to attack this problem
would really appreciate basic guidance. (very basic)
Thanks G

thanks -I did find it- loaded HCO VISTA 64 RC1
did not fix my problem--must be doing something stupid or not doing something intelligent

after 4 tries, using everyones input and your great guidlines, got my cougar up and running normally on 64 bit windows
Had to install the driver 4 times before it would function--realized I had not first uninstalled old version of program
Gentlemen thank you all.

I just upgraded(?) my gamer with an i7 Sandybridge and Win 7. I am not able to get my CCP to run despite following all of the great tips and tricks found in this thread. I can get Foxy to run, and even put in a tmj/tmm file but it will not install it to the stick. CCP will not run for lack of the infamous "STTubeDevice203.dll". I have gone into the device manager and redirected the In and OUT to the proper directory....which begs the question, which is the proper directory?? My machine is installing the 2007 HCO Vista 64RC1 drivers into the root directory C:\ instead of C:\ Program Files (x86). It isn't even giving me a choice in the matter. Now, a while back I installed DCS A-10 and told it to put it in the root directory as I did with a few other programs, but that was always after being asked where to put it. With this TM Cougar software, I am not even being asked. Please help!!!

"Windows7/Vista 64bit" ALL versions and "Cougar / Foxy" install instructions that work!!


Fixes "STTubeDevice203.dll, reinstall and try again" problem.

Disable "UAC" in windows should always be done, is a PITA anyway. Go to "Control Panel" and in "User Accounts' click "Change user account controls. Slide the bar to "never notifify" then click "OK".

Installation Instructions:
For 64 bits OS download the following driver:

1. Unplug your HOTAS Cougar joystick.
2. These drivers where designed for Windows Vista, but if you install them on your Windows 7 in Compatibility mode with "Vista SP2". You can do this by right clicking on the icon of the driver and chose Properties. There, on the second tab from left to right, called "Compatibility", check the box called "Run this program in compatibility mode with" and, from the drop-box found below, chose "Windows Vista SP2".

3. Follow the instructions on the screen , with install completed you will now have to find and install a file called "STTubeDevice203.dll"
4. Look in your folder at location "C:\HOTAS\drivers" and find "STTubeDevice203.dll" file. Then copied and pasted the "STTubeDevice203.dll" file into "C:\Windows\SysWow64" folder.

5. You are now ready to use your Hotas Cougar.

Enjoy!
