Windows 7 can't recognize TrackIR 5 device

Post by BradenShep »

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I bought TrackIR 5 and TrackClip Pro a week ago - it's awesome! It worked on the first try, easy to calibrate etc.

Then on Friday, it just stopped. I think a Windows update might have intervened there, but I'm not certain.

Now my device is just black - no red camera LEDs, no green connection LEDs. When I plug it into my computer, having now tried every USB port I possess, I get no lights.

- I've reinstalled the software and drivers a dozen times over.
- I get an Unknown Device in my Device Manager.
- I've tried every permutation of installing the drivers - listing the drivers on my machine doesn't show a NaturalPoint section, and I can't find it anywhere. Aiming it at the npusbio_x64 folder says it can't find a supported driver there.

- Connecting the device to my wife's computer it's also unrecognized; I haven't yet tried installing the software on her computer and seeing if it works there. She's on Windows 10 x64.

Any help would be appreciated!

BradenShep,

The latest Windows update has been killing me this week. Send me a message at help.naturalpoint.com and I'll see if we can get this taken care of.
