What are you computer specifications?

What video card drivers are you using?

Are you connected directly to the PC, or using a USB hub?

I can reproduce the same problem on Windows XP x64 Edition with TrackIR 4:PRO. The TrackIR 5.0 Software sometimes forget to turn on the IR lights on the camera. The issue can be "solved" by holding the vector clip in front of the camera while starting the software.

TrackIR Software 4.1.037 works flawless.

System specs: GA-MA770-UD3 (1.0), Phenom II 810, 8 GB DDR2-800 (Samsung), GA-NX96T512-HP (1.0), Windows XP x64 SP2, GeForce Driver 195.62.

Just to add one more name on the list. I too can replicate the issue and found the same solution. I hold the clip a few inches away an it kicks on like it should...

TrackIR 4 Pro + Clip
Win7 64 Ultimate

I am having some jittery issues with the 5 software when I move my head around. I don't have these issues in software v4. I think I will back up. I have adjusted the null points to try to eliminate but then it's taking more head movement than I am use to.

Any way..

Benjamin.

Are you connecting directly to the PC, or using a hub?

Any other USB devices plugged in next to the TrackIR, on the motherboard?

Are you using the TrackClip, or TrackClip Pro?

Hey Vincent - sorry for the lack of information.

I am connecting directly to the PC (back of box - direct to mobo)

Yes, USB plug adjacent to TrackIR USB

Track Clip.

- No worries, I have gone back to v4 software and it's perfect. Although I like the GUI of the v5 software, the jitters are gone in v4. Tried and true over the past couple of years...

Bman.
