What version of Windows are you running?

What version of the TrackIR software are you using?

Do you see the TRackIR software running in the task manager?

I have been caught out by this problem too.

I have had up to 3 instances of TIR running in memory. When I close trackir it does not always remove the instance running in memory so I now always check with Task manager, particularly when un/reinstalling.

However, when you reload it does not give the reported message when this happens. The message seems to only appear when TIR is already running minimised and I forgot it was already loaded.

This memory problem was reported somewhere. I had the same with 5.05 by the way.

Vista x64
TIR 5.04
