Vista 64 bit track IR software and installation problem
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 8:28 pm
I recently built my own PC with a vista 64 bit home premium OS/ core i7, 12 mb ram, gtx 280 gpu/ X58 mobo with all latest bios/drivers.
I have the Track IR 4 pro with vector; downloaded the latest driver and installed it. (4.36)
At first, it installed ok and worked fine in-game (fsx), but then after a day or two, my track IR`s 4 red lights dissappeared, and it just blinks blue every few seconds. its plugged directly into my PC usb.
When I try to open the Track IR program, it opens, but it is completely blank white (it does not seem to go online or detect the track IR)
It seems like i have a software issue, not hardware.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, including trying to reinstall. It worked again for a day or two. But now im having the same problems. This time I could not even delete the track IR software from the control panel, as i keep getting the message "the trackir.exe file is a locked file and you cannot delete it"
I tried to manually delete the naturalpoint folder on my hard disk, but i get the message " u need permission to delete this folder (trackIr.exe and the other files, like the dll files in that folder" even though i am the administrator on this computer!
SO now i cant properly reinstall the track ir driver, as it is not correctly deleting the old driver!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I dont want to reinstall my OS, but i HAVE To make track IR 4 run with FSX (which is how it ran beautifully on windows xp 32 bit)
