Hi Vincent,
Thank you for all your great postings. I have a tracker IR2 serial# 014838 that I am trying to get to use for mouse control/emulation (just in windows)
I have tried both the 3.3 and 3.13 drivers/software, my pc see's the natural point device, and I am plugged directly into the USB port ( no hub ) My Tracker IR lights up ( blue glowing light ) but the main light on the front that shows it's tracking just stays red, and never turns to green.
The Status display = No Data
This used to work for me.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks!

1 - What do you have the hotkeys assigned to?
2 - Illumination LEds on, within the software?
3 - Object size selected on the tracking screen?

Thanks for the quick reply!
*note: I'm using the 3.03 software off the orig CD, and running WinXPsp2.
Should I try the 3.13 software again?
1 - What do you have the hotkeys assigned to?
----> Set to Default:
Left Click Left Win =On trap=on
Right Click Right Win =On trap=on
Center F12 =ON Trap = On
Enable F9 = ON Toggle=On Trap = On
Motion Mode F8 Trap=On
Precision F7 = ON Trap =On
Double Click Assist = On
2 - Illumination LEds on, within the software?
Tracking --> Software LEDs = ON
3 - Object size selected on the tracking screen?
(good question
k, that's set to 100 px
I only get a red light on the Tracker (not even the blue underglow light), and Status says 'No Data'
The eye does not see the dot, even a few inches from the tracker unit
Thanks again Vincent

Within the Device Manger, what is the unit being detected as?
Have you tried moving USB ports?

Yes, it see's in USB Controllers:

It sounds like the hardware itself might have failed.......
