FSX not recognizing TrackIR 4

I am running Windows Vista 64-bit Ultimate Edition and have installed the latest drivers and software. The TrackIR software recognizes it, but when I run FSX no blue led is lit. I've tried to delete the x86_microsoft.flightsimulator folder for the SimConnect and Repaired with the installation disc, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
John Flowers

1 - Are you running any antivirus/firewall software?

2 - Which version of the TrackIR software?

3 - Does the TrackIR work in other applications?

OK, one step to try�.

1 - Delete the following file folder

C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9

2 - Insert the FSX CD, and run the repair utility. Basically we are looking to reinstall the folder.

3 - Hopefully this should remedy the issue.

Please let me know if this helps.
