Keypress doesn't work in FS X

I've been using TrackIR 5 for a while now with my CH yoke. I've been using buttons on the yoke to control the Center function on TrackIR with success.

I've run out of yoke buttons, though, and now need to use a keypress to center the view. In TrackIR, I've assigned the "Delete" key to Center, and it works fine when TrackIR is on the screen. Once I start FS X, however, the Delete key doesn't work. There's no response at all. If I ALT-TAB over to TrackIR, Delete works as it should, but when FS X has focus there's no response.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled TrackIR. I'm hoping to not have to uninstall and reinstall FS X (and all my addons). Any ideas?

Figured it out by looking through the MSFS.

In Windows 7, TrackIR needs to be run as an Administrator.

I recently have had this problem pop up and running as administrator seems to solve it.
