Track IR not working since Windows 10 update

Post by TheAtomiser »

So I recently updated Windows 10 and now the track ir camera is listed as an unknown device on my list of devices. I've tried everything from reinstalling the software to plugging the device in and out again to trying to get windows to detect the driver all to no avail.

I'm using 5.3.0

Anyone know a fix for this problem?

TheAtomiser,

I want you to unplug the camera, uninstall the software, uninstall the drivers, delete the installer and then reboot. Once rebooted, I want you to download the installer again and then right-click it and select "Run as administrator". If this does not resolve the issue, please start a ticket with me at help.naturalpoint.com.

I'm going to have to look into this, I can't imagine what would be causing that to interfere. Thank you for posting your findings.

Same here, Windows 10 updated and no TrackIR along with unknown device in the device manager.

In the device manager I pointed it to the Naturalpoint folder and it installed the driver.
