Have you updated to the latest version of Direct X?

Yes running 9.0c

running any keyboard/joystick software?

[hwh888]

NO, would prefer all relative questions be asked at one time this method is a "question a day"

I think by latest directx, he means do you have the August 2009 update. 9.0c has been around for years, but it is being updated all the time. Newest video drivers require the updated directx. Go to microsoft and get the update. The dinput8.dll error is a directx error, likely because yours is out of date. This is not a likely to be a problem if you are running windows 7, but you have offered very little info on your system, so I, and others, can only guess.

I do believe I'm running the latest of everything.
Still the same problem. Once in a while it will start & run then after 1-2 minutes the crash error message warning appears. I can ignore it & it still runs but the error message box stays on top of Xplane or FltSim X.
Gotta be a problem somewhere but I'll be darned if I can figure it out??? Could it be a defective Tracker5???
Is there anyone with the same problem?

The DirectX error would be software related, not hardware.

Does the issue occur, when using the 4.1.037 version of the TrackIR software?
