OptiTrack FLEX:C120 on vista

[demonwhisperer]

Hi. I've been having problems with running my optitrack code on vista business edition on my IBM T60p thinkpad notebook. I've ported the same code and it seem to run perfectly on my xp machine. My code seems to freeze on call to free() and release() on my INPCameraFrame object after the first is captured. Is there anything specific I need to change in order for such thing to run properly in Vista? Thanks in advance.

Actually I had some strange problems moving from XP to Vista too, I got around by starting a new project in Visual Studio and then importing all the modules from the original project into the new one

Thanks for that but i already tried that unfortunatley. wonder if it's any permissions realted problem with vista. Anyone else have any helpfull suggestions? thanks

Most permission problems with Vista can be solved by turning off the UAC

Like yours my application originally started life on XP and is now in Vista, and uses a C120.

Try downloading one of the optitrack sample projects and see if you can get the camera to work, I did this because like yourself I was suspecting issues, however, the sample project worked fine. And helped diagnose and fix the problem.

Hi I downloaded the optitrack sample which included the option application and got this to run on vista but I had to comment out pFrame->free() from certain lines of the code. Strange...still a problem tho. Could any mods comment on this problem please. I need to get this resolved asap. thanks

For this post we tested the C++ VC8/2005 sample on Vista 32 bit and it appeared to compile and work without issue.

Which sample did you download and why did you need to comment out the free()s? Because of compilation problems or problems on your system when you run the binary?

I am getting Access Violation 0xC00000000005 errors on running my application (I can't seem to replicate the problem with your sample anymore) which originates on a pframe->free() or pframe->release() call.
