Vista Ultimate 64bit.
TrackIR cd that comes with the unit - drivers and trackIR software.
(Drivers are the latest v 4.1.030)

Tried that.
Status still says 'no device'.
Re the simconnect.dll issues mentioned elsewhere in this forum, I've noticed I have two directories in my:
c:windows/winsxs
which contain simconnect.dll files.
The problem is I can't delete these (even though I have full administrator rights).
Could these be the source of the problem?

Both folders have a version of simconnect, just a different "flavor".
If you have the deluxe edition of FSX. Try installing the SDK, then running the simconnect install.
One tip I have seen is installing any application, within Vista, in a seperate folder outside of the Program Files folder.

Tried reinstalling the SDK - made no difference.
Installer does not give option of a different installation directory.
Do you think I should do a full re-install of FSX? (groan . . . )

Woohoo! Completely uninstalled FSX.
Uninstalled TrackIR software/drivers.
Reboot.
Install TrackIR v4.1.030b software/drivers . . .
. . . and it works again!
That's a relief!
But does this mean I can't use my TrackIR with FSX?????

Nope, sometime FSX gets issues, so it needs a clean, refresh. Some of this should be resolved with a future SP2 update to FSX, and a update to the TrackIR software.
