Minimize on Startup Not Working Win 7 64 bit?

Post by actrade »

I have a Track IR 4 Trackclip Pro and recently built a new rig that includes Win 7 64 bit. I'm using the Track IR 5.0 software, which works perfectly fine. However, even though I've set it up to start up minimized, every time I turn the computer on, it starts up maximized, with the check boxes turned off for minimize? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a save settings somewhere I'm missing. Funny, but it worked fine under the final version 4 software?

Try reinstalling the TrackIR software to a new folder, like C:\TrackIR5. I hazily recall something like this happening to a user in the past, and I believe it was an issue of Vista and/or 7 locking down Program Files folders by default, disallowing the TrackIR application to save edits to settings. If this doesn't work, try running the TrackIR.exe app as an admin, then saving your setting and restarting your PC.

That did it! After installing it to \trackir50 instead of 5, it worked. I noticed that the \5 and \4 directories were still in place so they must have been interfering with each other. Thanks for your help!
