Nope, it is not possible to use the TrackIR 4 either, as it is also only designed for Gaming applications.

The NaturalPoint line of products, that would work in your situation, is the SmartNAV.

The TrackIR software (4.x.xx) is only designed for use with gaming applications. It doesn't have any fully functioning ability to be used on the system desktop.

There was the functionality of the older software to be used on the system desktop, as a mouse replacement. This ability was taken out of the newer software, as the hardware was designed to be used within games, not on the system desktop.

We designed the SmartNAV hardware, and software to be used on the system desktop. The newer SmartNAV software, is alot different than the older software, and has many more features than 2.20_beta

The 3.13 version of the software may work with the 32-bit version of Vista, but it is not a support OS.
