I have a TrackIr 3pro+ vector Expansion and it have worked until now ,well it work now also ,but its the vector activision that is porked with these newer drivers. First time i install the new driver every thing is ok ! install the driver.bla bla.. connect the track .bla bla.. active the vector expansion ..bla bla .. work OK. then i turn of the device / computer or reboot. next time i fire up my Track. the vector is not activated? and i cant activate it again " the option is greyed out" The only thing i can do is to unplug the Track and plug it back in the USB then the vector goes on again I�v tryed the regfix= no go ,I�m out of options here after several installs with the same result? Here is my sys spec:Win XP Pro sp2 MSI nForce3-S939 AMD-64 3500+ 1Gb Corsair XL3200 dual DDR ATI Radeon 9800 pro 19" Samsung 957P Saitek X45.

Well! been there done that! i�v got this problem with all the drivers from 4.1.026 to the latest 4.1.030 final.There is something that have shange in this newer driver that my sys don�t like, the one i�m using now is 4.0.022 ( the one that come with my TrackIr),i hade one, i think it was build 4.1.023 or 025 but i lost it . Any way to solve this ? should be greate to be able to use the newer drive�s

You have the latest chipset drivers, as well as motherboard bios installed?

Are you plugging in directly to the system, or are you using a hub?

Have you tried isolating the device on the USB ports?

Have you tried turn off any kind of power save feature for your USB ports?

In the "Device Manager" you can right click the "USB Hub"(s), that show, and then select properties. On the power management tab, uncheck the box that allows the computer to turn off the USB port to save power (i.e. uncheck the box). Sometimes that has an impact on the connectivity of the devices.

Q #1: Yes
#2: Direct in to my motherboard, i have 4 USB ports and i�v tryed every one of them
#3: Yes
#4: Yes
Well ! i guess i have to go with the older drives,is there a way to DL a little older driver from the webpage? i.e. 4.1.023>4.1.025 ?
