Logitech Freedom 2.4 and LO-MAC

Howdy gents, i was wondering if any of you had successfully used the
Logitech with LO-MAC.

I recently purchased it, it was unfortunatly the best one in the store, but
I guess that's not saying much. LO-MAC refuses, and I mean flat out refuses
to remeber any changes I make to the joystick config. I can't assign the
rudder to the rotate 2 axis or any of the buttons to do anything other than
the stock bog standard button 1 to fire, button 2 to release, and button 5
to centre view. I went looking for a profile to load into the joystick using
it's profile software, doesn't seem to do anything when imported however so
I can't tell if I'm f'ing it up, or the profile isn't being accepted.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm running ver 1.2 of Lock on if that's of
any help. The game recognises the joystick, but yea, I've even tested the
rotate 2 axis after I've assigned it, it works fine while testing, but then
as soon as I click on Ok to go back to the main menu it's all forgotten
again

Cheers for your time!
