Any word on Windows 7 support?
Re: Any word on Windows 7 support?
Well, there is no official support, as Windows 7 is still a beta application.
The latest TrackIR software has been installed, and seems to function properly.

Re: Any word on Windows 7 support?
Thank you for your response. I should have been more sppecific; I am getting an error installing TrackIR_4.1.036 on the Windows 7 64 bit edition Beta. I realize the OS is in Beta and that it is not at all reasonable to expect instant driver production. TrackIR is an important part of my system so I am hoping to get any info I can. I will dual boot if I have to in order to keep TrackIR. I have posted specifics of my issue below. Thanks for your time and your product.
I have tried Vista and XP compatability modes but it always fails. The error when doing a straight install of the driver is "TrackIR_4.1.036 is not a vaild Win32 application"
When running with Windows 7 compatability troubleshooter using XP or Vista for the OS the error is:

Sounds like you have some data corruption in the file you downloaded?
What is the file size?

Bingo - Issue resolved. Thanks Vincent!.
The driver I had downloaded was only 117kb, far short of the 3.9MB listed, I should have caught that. None the less, TrackIR is running great in Windows 7 64 bit!
Thanks NaturalPoint from a loyal customer.
