Re: 64 bit OS support drivers released!
Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2006 7:37 am
My experience with the latest drivers on Windows XP Pro x64 (4.1.028)...
I have Windows x64 running on an AMD 64 3200+(Venice), K8N Neo2 Platinum (socket 939) with 2Gig of Corsair TwinX3200 and a Galaxy 6800GT nVidia card. After a fresh install and then updating all my chipset drivers, graphics, audio etc. to the latest versions, I then install my TrackIR3 Pro using the above drivers...
It appears to work fine and I can set up my own profile nicely. I do have one problem though. When I shutdown TrackIR it still leaves the 'trackir.exe x32' process running in the background (confirmed by loading task manager CTRL+ALT+DEL). If I try to launch TrackIR again it won't let me, and no matter how many times I try I cannot end the 'trackir.exe x32' process in task manager. It just stays there...? It doesn't appear to be using any processing bandwidth, it just won't die.
As I said, this happens with a clean install of x64 (did it twice to confirm I hadn't done anything wrong!) and there doesn't appear to be anything conflicting with it. I had the same problem with 028 in XP Pro using the exact same hardware, but it worked OK using the previous 027 driver. I tried the 027 driver in x64 but it did the same thing as 028. Works OK on the first load but refuses to shutdown properly...
I could live with having TrackIR running permanently and just have it disabled via the hotkey when not in use, but shutdown takes forever because of the process that won't die...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If someone could confirm that they are having the same or similar problem that would be something. I really like x64 and find it a smoother and more stable OS, but as I am a keen flight simmer, I fear I will have to go back to the 32bit version if I can't fix this issue.
I did search the forums but couldn't find any clues (***See edit below***)

PS I am at work so cannot post my serial number. I can later though if it helps.
*** EDIT ***
I did find something on a search! I could try to delete the entire profile folder just in case something in there got corrupted during the install Link to similar problem
Not sure if this will solve it though as it is a fresh install on a newly installed OS and there are no previous profiles...
