All is working as it should. Here is what I did.
Uninstalled the Cougar drivers
Changed the compatibility to vista for the cougar drivers installer
You may need to manually install the DataIN/DataOUT drivers in the device manager
Reinstalled the drivers as administrator
Plugged in the HOTAS as directed
I did have to move a file from the drivers directory to System32 to run the HOTAS control panel
Plugged in my Cougar MFD pack
Plugged in my Saitek Combat Pedals
Installed the Saitek drivers for the combat pedals
Tested the DX and S1 was the trigger indent where it was Button 33 before.
