Re: The software won't install

Bingo!

Now I get it. I misunderstood the application of "toggle." It works great!

Thank you for your generous and speedy help Vincent. BTW, concerning another simmer's query about the value of purchasing a TrackIR on another sim forum, I just wrote this, so I am a happy camper.

Re: The software won't install

<t>No, I wish it were true.<br/> <br/> THe tracker works just great when starting out in the simulator itself. Looking around, etc. is good at the beginning. The problem is pausing the tracker (not the sim). After the first time I pause the tracker, I can't go back to the flowing tracker view. It's ...

Re: The software won't install

<t>No, the program was frozen.<br/> <br/> I've reinstalled FSX and the TIR software from your website. I reassigned the center and pause hotkeys to numpad * and - and made them trapped. Now I can pause the tracker in FSX but it does not "unpause." Instead the view jumps suddenly to where I am lookin...

Re: The software won't install

I select the VC by way of my joystick switch, the ALT View menu, keyboard F9 or the "S" key (I think) and in each case the screen still shows the 2D panel. I am going to re-install FSX and TIR4 later tonight. Maybe this time it won't get locked up.

Re: The software won't install

<t>The TIR4 software did install after re-building the PC's OS and putting in a fresh copy of MS FlightSim X, but on first use inside FSX, the monitor view locked up looking off to the side when I glanced quickly to the side of my desk (not used to the gear yet). After having to close the program wi...

Re: The software won't install

I'm not clear about what needs to be uninstalled with the windows installer cleanup utility to make this thing work. I downloaded it and looked at the list of installed programs--nothing looks out of place. Am I to look for something specifically to uninstall? The second link you provided wants to i...

Re: The software won't install

Okay, I tried each of your suggestions in turn (except the last link, which appears to be broken)and all had the same result as before. *sigh*

The software won't install

<t>Well, a disappointing start for me with this new gear. The software install program pops up an error message early on which reads, "Error Number: 0x800040707 Description: (blank)" which isn't much help, so I click "okay." Then I'm asked to agree to the legal stuff (which is also blank) and finall...
