TIR4 doesn't work anymore with FsX

Hello,
I installed FsX when the simulator has been released, and TIR was working fine with it.
But few days ago, I noticed that TIR would not work anymore with Fsx.
I uninstalled first TIR, reinstalled it, but nothing worked out.
The I've uninstalled Fsx, reinstalled it, and same prb.
I've browsed this forum, and tried all the workarounds you guys had found to solve the prb, but nothing to do with mine.
I don't have anymore the blue light, have deleted the mentionned directory, rebuilt Fsx: doesn't work !!
I run Fsx on a desktop, TIR plug in a hub, win XP home ed. SP2.
I have to tell that I laso use TIR with Fs9, and it works fine.
Can someone help me on this one ?
Thanks in advance
Emmanuel

Which version of FSX are you running?
Remove the TrackIR software by doing the following:
a. Click "Start"
b. Click on the "Control Panel"
c. Click "Add/Remove Programs"
d. Find "TrackIR" and click "Change/Remove"
e. Once launched it will give the option to completely remove it.
f. Delete the NaturalPoint folder at the following location, C:\Program Files\NaturalPoint
g. Download and reinstall the software from the following location,

Hello,
I use Fsx deluxe.
Did what you wrote, but I still have no blue light and no tracking at all in Fsx.

Try installing the SDK, from the DVD, then running the simconnect install that is placed in the install folder.

Hi Vincent,
Well, Did what you told me to do again, but it gave no changes to the situation.
I forgot to tell you that I have this message during the uninstallation of TIR:
' A old INF file was found on your computer which which may be left over from a previous installation. Would you like to remove the following file :C:\WINDOWS\inf\oem19.inf '
I'm really stuck and feel really worry about this.

At this point, I would uninstall FSX. Then delete the FlightSim WinSxS folder, then do a reinstall of FSX.

Ok, I've uninstalled Fsx. The winsxs folder has been deleted by the uninstaller (wasn't there anyway).
Re-installed Fsx, (as sp1 is out, installed the sp1).
Ran Fsx, and... still stuck !!!

Could you send me a screen shot of the TrackIR folder, on your c:\ drive. (with the details view selected)

Hi Vincent,
I sent an email to you (via support) to send the snapshot.
Hope you got it right and this will help.

The creation date for the WinSxS folders is for over the weekend?
