XP 32Bit FSX TrackIR 4 driver problem

Post by Sebihepp »

Hello everyone,

I bought the track ir 4 pro last days and today I
got it. I have installed it correctly and wanted
use it in Flight Simulator X from Microsoft.

But: Everytime I start a flight, after the loading
the game shows me the virtual cockpit without any
textures and freezes. I can't do any input on any
devices, even the mouse and the keyboard are freezed.
Then, after about 10 seconds the game crashes to the
desktop with 16 colors and I get the message, that
the driver can't be executed normally. I must restart
my computer.

I am using a GeForce 8800 GT with ForceWare 175.19 WHQL
and Windows XP 32Bit. This is not normal, because I only
have installed TrackIR, nothing else. I tried the newest
updates: Failure. The time before I installed TrackIR,
FSX runs fine.

I think it is caused by a setting in the drivermenu, but
I tried to change some and always get the same error.

Does anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance
Sebihepp

Edit:
Sorry, I forget that I use the official addon
"Acceleration", too.

1 - Is this service pack 3, for XP?

2 - Any other software running inthe background (joystick, firewall, antivirus)

3 - Have you tried a clean install of TrackIR?

4 - Are you using a hub, or plugged directly into the PC?

Hello,

thanks for help. But I find out what the problem was.
I installed the Driver 175.16 and the problem was gone.
I didn't understand it, because I had have the newer driver
installed a long time before without problems. :confused:
But this doesn't matter now. :grin:

Oh, and I am using SP3 for XP, have no other programms
run in background (Only Drivers for Joystick and the
Windows intern firewall), have a clean install and doesn't
use a hub. :)

And before I forget it: TrackIR 4 Pro is wonderful!!!
Thanks for developing this product. :)

Greetings Sebihepp
