No Device Detected - Part 2

Hiya, posted in another thread but didn't want it to miss anyone's eyes.

I have the same problem but unfortunately in this very forum Mitch's solution hasn't worked. Been a while since I used TrackIR (stupid babies!) but it was last installed on my Win7 OS SSD which died, replaced by a brand new Win8 OS SSD.

No lights are coming up on the Track IR (before and after following Mitch's instructions), I can't remember if it's meant to. I did get the 'detecting unknown device' thing and then a warning flashed up but due to various other things popping up after start-up, I didn't get time to read the message (unsure if this is stored anywhere?)

TrackIR app is showing 'device not detected'.

OS: Win8 x64
Driver: 5.1.3


I'd appreciate any support you guys can offer smile

I saw this post after I replied to the other thread, but the answer is you'll want to use version 5.2 Beta 2 with Windows 8. I included a link and some directions in the other thread, so if you need a little more detail check that out or give me a holler :)
