Just installed CS:GO (Counterstrike Global Offensive) on Windows 8 and when I get in game my SmartNAV lags really bad. It works fine running Windows 7, Vista and XP. I'm guessing it's a driver issue.

There have been some issues with SmartNav and the native Windows on-screen keyboard which is why recommend Click-N-Type. You can download it from: http://cnt.lakefolks.org/

Haven't heard of lag before but it could be possible. There have been a few issues trying to play games at a different resolution then what you normally run on the desktop though. Are you running at the same resolution in the game as you are in Windows?

Are there going to be drivers for Win 8 anytime soon? I have 2 SmartNAV's and both don't work well in Win 8 for gaming or typing.

I just had a brand-new SmartNAV purchased for me by a vocational rehabilitation group. I have been using these products for a very long time. I'm currently on a laptop with Windows 8. I had a previous model SmartNAV that I was using on the laptop okay, but not as well as it should normally be used. When I plugged in the new SmartNAV the tracking works fine but the dwell clicking bar is checked, but grayed out and I cannot find a way through any of the tabs or anything to activate dwell clicking. I rely upon dwell clicking big time. Please tell me how to activate dwell clicking, which is something I have always used. This is very frustrating.

Re: On Screen keyboard We have found problems launching Windows onscreen keyboard when Smartnav is running. This only occurs when there is a hotkey bound to the LWin button.

The fix is to goto Smartnav settings/Clicking page and disable the hotkey binding for LWin.

The problem affects both Windows 7 and 8.

Hi,

We have Smartnav installed and running fine for my mum, but when Windows 8 goes to sleep, on waking Smartnav often isn't there.

There is no panel and the camera is not active, it is not picking up anything.

If you go to the Device manager, shut down the software and then open it again, the panel/software still doesn't come back.

The only way to get it working again is to restart the computer, which for someone with no hands and no control of the cursor is impossible.

Do you know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks
