Game controls trouble

After restoring my system from a crash (RAID failure), my once carefully tuned FSX has now serious problems with the joystick (AV8R), yoke and pedals (Pro-Flight).

1) Despite downloading from Saitek the latest drivers and programming sw (Smart Technology) , it is indifferent to to any new key assignment I try to make. The saved profile file shows the button assignments, but both the testing Game Controller and FSX, react only to the very basic features (axis rotations).
I have a registerd version of FSUIPC, but when I open the related programming window my gear is not acknowledged.

2) The "BRAKES" sign can come on at any time during a flight and there is no way to make it go. Pressing the "." key has no effect. What I haven't understood yet, is if the brakes are actually operated or not. Landing runs seem to be normal, but I haven't experimented with any taildragger or fast airplane yet.


I was considering the followin fix:
- remove the game controls from my PC,
- run "regedit" and try to delete anything related to Saitek
- re-connect the controls
- re-install drivers and programming sw
- make new key assignments

Does anybody think that this is the proper way?
Is there anyone that can please suggest other fixes?

Thank you
