Version 4.1.038 and version 5 problem

Post by GazzaS »

Hi,
I've used my TrackIR 4 for years with no problem on XP. I upgraded to Windows 7 and now I have a problem with the head tracking. Tracking seems to work fine as long as I don't use 'heads'. But when I tick the 'heads' box, I get an unhandled error message causing trackIR to freeze up. Then, the 'heads' window pops up without showing the heads at all. Then, I must click on an X in the heads window causing the whole program to shut down.

To get past this problem I uninstalled 4.1.038 and installed the latest version of 5. This won't run at all when I click on the shortcut.

I've tinkered with compatibility options but nothing has changed.

I can live without the heads, but it was my preferred way of seeing where I was and how well it was working.

Hello -

If it would be possible, could you post the contents of your event log entry related to that freeze?

Also, have you tried using the TrackIR 5 software? It will work appropriately with your TrackIR 4 camera, and has different visualization methods.

I hope this is what you mean. I just get the feeling there is something missing that both versions require that I don't have.

Try downloading and installing the microsoft visual c++ 2005 and 2008 runtimes, then running these.

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem with 4.1.038. Should it fix version 5?
