Icon disappears from task bar

Post by Aussieflyer38 »

Hi, hope somebody can help me with this. I recently purchased TrackIR 5 and am trying to get my settings right. My problem is that after adjustments I minimise the window and after about thirty seconds the icon disappears. The program stays running in the back ground but there is no icon in the task bar to maximise to make further adjustments. If I click on the desktop icon again, it tells me the program is already running and wont reopen the window. The only way I can make further adjustments is to shut down my computer and restart. This is a real pain and makes adjusting Track slow and tedious. I use it in MSFSX Flight Sim. Could someone please help me with this. Thanks

Hello Aussieflyer38,

The TrackIR, in order to save on computer resources will minimize and hide the icon. If you go right next to the clock in the bottom corner, you should see a triangle that allows you to show hidden icons. If you click on that you should see the TrackIR logo in there, and simply right-click and choose the option to Minimize/Maximize to tray.

Thanks Mike, much appreciated. Something new for me. TrackIR great, but takes a bit of getting used to.
