Hi There

I havce just bought a new PC with vista 32.

I've installed fsx (delux edition) and trackIR with the latest drivers from the website 4.1.030 - Final B,

after about 30 secs play I get a continous beep from my pc and the game freezes ? This also happens when I'm playing rfactor.

fsx seems to work without crashing if I don't use Track IR

any ideas??

thanks

Michael

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.

Are you running any Anti-virus/Firewall software?
