Re: Win7 x64?
See my reply above yours. The problem was I needed a self-powered USB hub. That seems to have fixed it.
Re: Win7 x64?
Problem Solved! Apparently the laptop USB ports weren't providing enough power. I bought a self-powered USB hub, plugged TIR into that, and now it works!

Re: camera not turning on?
<t>I just tried to install on a Dell laptop running Win7 64 bit, though, and am having trouble. I installed the SW, plugged in the TIR, it installed the driver. I then ran the TIR SW (as admin, even though UAC is disabled), and I see the same symptom. TIR SW says it sees the camera, but no lights.<b...

Re: camera not turning on?
<t>I'm using TrackClip on a baseball cap.<br/> <br/> I think I figured out a workaround on my desktop machine.

Win7 x64?
<t>Is there a trick to getting TrackIR to work on 64-bit Win7 Pro? I installed the SW, then plugged in the device, it said it installed the driver.

Re: camera not turning on?
<t>I tried plugging it into a different USB port and then it worked! Note that I swapped the TrackIR camera and another device (a WolfKing side keyboard).

Re: camera not turning on?
Another note, in the TrackIR SW, at the bottom right of the window the left-most status indicator is green and the mouse-over tooltip says "Camera Detected and Connected". The other 2 lights are no lit.
Also in the Camera tab the stauts lights are set to enabled.
