Conflict with FSX?

Post by krswen »

I have a TrackIR4 with the Pro Clip. I just got a new computer and installed the software for TrackIR5. Before launching FSX, I start IR5 and confirm that it's trackng my hed movements and I center the display.
Then I launch FSX. Both icons are visible in the taskbar. Once I choose a flight and FSX goes to full screen the IR5 works perfectly. When I close FSX, the TrackIR5 icon has disappeared from the taskbar and I have to go to task manager to shut it down.
Running Win7 64 bit Professional.
Any thoughts?

Are you minimizing the TrackIR software before loading FSX?

OK, uninstalled software (in case it was a Win7 permissions thing) and reinstalled in it's own folder instead of the default c:\program files.
Upon further experimenting I discovered it was disappearing to the system tray from the taskbar, but I didn't realize it because the preference was set to the default "show only notifications". I reset that to "show icon and notifications" and now it stays visible in the system tray. Then I double click that to get it back on the taskbar, where I can bring it back up to make adjustments or close it.
