What version of Windows are you using?

Did you do a clean uninstall, before downloading, and installing the latest software?

intrestingly I have found a cure to it,

After installing the new software, Vista was already running the program as administrator privligies in the shortcut on my desktop under the compatability tab, So I unchecked this and tested the track IR and it now works with my games.

so for some reason it deos not like it when I run the track ir5 software as admin


Edit:

I just tested this again by enabling " Run as administrator" under privalige level in the compatability tab, in the shortcut to my game.exe and the Track IR software was not recognising my game, I then unchecked the run as admin..and the Track IR would work with my games again

Yesterday I updated from "5.0 Beta" to "Final", too, and was experiencing that my "Strike Fighters 2" wasn't recognized any more (unlike than in the Beta).

I will check out the above, delete the "shortcut" and create a "fresh one" to start without admin-rights...

Keep you posted.


Btw: you name "Strike Fighters 1" on your list of supported games on the TrackIR-hp (strange enough that one is not in the list shown in the 5.0-software itself) - you can add the "Strike Fighters 2"-series just as well. Works great (right now I am just not sure about the x and y-axis)!
