HI all. I bought a new computer recently and until then i used free track however, A. it is no longer compatiable and B. it got on my nerves, so im now looking to replace it with a TrackIR5.
however being cautious i decided to download the software and check it works on my new laptop before i spend anything.

I went to the site, downloaded version 5 final and it doesnt work. i get the exact message at the top of this thread.
i have a nividia gtx 570M windows 7 64 bit.
Is there anything i can do to make it work, as it may effect my desison to buy TrackIR.

just so you know i immediatley uninstalled and then installed the version 4 and this seems to work but i would much prefer v5

thanks in advance.

Hello -

The issue discussed in here is specific to ATI boards, would it be possible to post a screen shot of the error or the event log entry for it? That could help us narrow down the cause of this on your system.

It should be in an application log, here is a good rundown of the event viewer: http://kb.iu.edu/data/aivi.html
You can access this in any version of windows by right clicking "my computer" or "computer" in the start menu, then selecting "manage".
