JimAttrill 24 Posted November 29, 2009 I now have basically a new machine running Windows 7 Ultimate with newly installed versions of Trackir version 4 beta software, CFS3 and OFF. When I run CFS3, I get the blue leds on but in OFF I don't get the blue leds and TrackIr doesn't work. What is going on here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted November 29, 2009 Use the software version 5.0 Final B of trackir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almccoyjr 7 Posted November 30, 2009 "newly installed versions of Trackir version 4 beta software, CFS3 and OFF." What is going on here? Do not use any old Version 4 betas or any of the first 5.0 betas that came out. For V4 use the 4.1.037 Final B and for V5 software, use only the 5.0 Final B. V5 Final B really improves the performance of the TIR4 PRO. I'd go with it per Von Paulus. plug_nickel (Al) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimAttrill 24 Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) As I have a TrackIr 3 with vector expansion, I cannot use the version 5 software - I am on the 4 Final B as above. But I found the problem in that both programs have to be running as administrator. This obviously means something to Bill and his merry men, but nothing much to me. As I was signed on as my single user and had to be an administrator this seems to be a stupid thing to have to do. But Windoze never has made much sense. But maybe we should update the TrackIR installation notes to take this into account with Windows 7. It certainly ruined my day, having to uninstall and reinstall both TrackIr and OFF and then finding no change. Edited November 30, 2009 by JimAttrill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Lothar of the Hill People 6 Posted December 9, 2009 But I found the problem in that both programs have to be running as administrator.

But Windoze never has made much sense. It's not that both have to be running as Administrator, it's that both OFF/CFS3 and TrackIR need to be running under the same user. You'll be okay if you run either both or neither as Administrator, but can't do only one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimAttrill 24 Posted December 11, 2009 I have gone back to XP pro anyway after my joystick and webcam didn't work properly with 7. I reckon I'll wait a bit before trying again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
