so just to confirm, the nostromo n52 DOES work in win 7?
Yes, it works. The only problems that I have with it is that it isn't recognized when coming out of sleep mode and the automatic profile function doesn't seem to work (manually selecting a profile works fine). Be careful with the drivers though, I think I'm using 3.02d, not the 3.24 drivers. If you install one after the other, Windows 7 puts stuff in different locations and seems to hose everything up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-23330190 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:06:40 EDT Re: Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-23329564 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-23329564 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:16:05 EDT Re: Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-23242884 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-23242884 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:23:01 EDT Re: Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-23223216 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-23223216 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:52:14 EDT Re: Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22978860
Now while I would not expect a fast reaction with respect to updated drivers I would also not expect a fast response with respect to an updated Nostromo Profile Editor, Loadout Manager and so on (slower in fact). I think its been almost ~2 years since the current Windows version has been updated for the n52.

The Belkin n52te “Razer” software on the other hand was probably updated sometime within the last 12 months which is quasi fast for Belkin.

Which brings me back to my original suggestion. I vaguely remember downloading the n52te software when it first came out and trying it in Vista with my n52. It worked as I recall but I was at the point where I just didn’t really care to use the n52 anymore and I wasn’t going to shell out for the then new n52te. Poor support is what drove me to shelve the product but my guess is that the n52te will receive preferential treatment (if a new product doesn’t come out to replace it) and that you’d be lucky if Belkin even spits in the direction of the n52.

If the OP can get hold of the Nostromo n52te “Razer” software it “might” work better in Windows 7 then the native n52 software and again this doesn’t sound like a driver problem IMO. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22978860 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 14:27:28 EDT Re: Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22977616 said by Defiance82:

You'll have to wait until Windows 7 is "officially" released to the consumers.
RTM is an "Official" release. It's the same as retail.

Have you tried Vista SP 2 compatibility support? I've had to do the Compatibility when I installed some drivers on my RTM as well.
Hence my use of quotes. Some companies like Belkin, Logitech aren't releasing drivers until Windows 7 is in retail even though many people are already using it. I'm very well aware that RTM = Retail (although technically it's meant to be used for development or testing purposes, not for regular use according to their EULA) but to these companies they are waiting for next month. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22977616 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:43:53 EDT Re: Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22976651 said by Vathral:

As far as Win7, Ill bet all you're going to get from them is "Not a supported OS" because all they list is:

OS compatibility: Windows XP 32-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP 64-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit

Maybe sometime down the road they will make proper drivers for Win7.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22956806 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:24:09 EDT Re: Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22950935
Anyway, my only suggestion would be to see if the Nostromo n52te software would work for the n52. I’m not at all sure that the n52te software will work for the n52 but as the n52te is the most recent product it stands the chance of being the most up to date or likely to be the first to be updated.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22950935 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:39:55 EDT Windows 7 and Belkin Nostromo n52 problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22950878 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Windows-7-and-Belkin-Nostromo-n52-problems-22950878 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:30:24 EDT
