Keyboard will not work with TrackIR

Post by RetiredRacer »

Since installing games and TIR in new computer (with Vista) the keyboard won't work when I start up TIR.
I have re-installed it several times with no change.
But the keyboard has worked perfectly for the whole day twice in the last three months.

Are they plugged in next to each other?

Are you running any other software?

What type of keyboard?

Please try moving the TrackIR to a different USB port.

Have you tried turn off any kind of power save feature for your USB ports?

In the "Device Manager" you can right click the "USB Root Hub"(s), that show, and then select properties. On the power management tab, uncheck the box that allows the computer to turn off the USB port to save power (i.e. uncheck the box). Sometimes that has an impact on the connectivity of the devices.
