My TrackIR pro 4 doesn't work in FSX: HELP

[jef32]

Hi from France.
I've recently bought a new computer (XP SP2) and bought FSX. Before writing here i've all tried. My TrackIR works perfectly with Lock-on, FS2004 and FB-Pacific Fighters. But i have big problems with FSX. In the beginning my track IR worked with FSX and i've updated FSX in SP1 and installed Active Sky X. I've done some mistakes to install active sky with the SDK and perhaps that the problem is here. So i've read the forum and all tried. I've tried to delete the folder \windows\winSxS\x86 simconnect... and to repair FSX: It doesn't work. I've totally uninstalled FSX and Active sky, then i've done a complete cleaning of my registry with Ccleaner then i've re-installed FSX ( remember that the FSX licence allows only three installs). I've not updated FSX to Sp1 and TrackIR doesn't work in FSX without sp1 (Remember it worked good on the first install). I've tried to update my track IR. I've tried the beta version 4.1.45 : It doesn't work. I returned to 4.1.30 and unplugged and replugged my trackIR: it doesn't work. I've tried to create a new profile just for FSX: it doesn't work. My trackIR is ok with my others simulators but doesn't work in FSX, the blue DEL stays always off in FSX. What can i do now ? please Help me !!!!
