Updating TrackIR4 to Latest Version

[Altrac]

I am using trackIR4 version 4.1030. Should I update to 4.1037 or version 5.0? When updating how do I save my current settings? Do I have to uninstall my previous version?

Thanks for any help!

If you update to 4.1.037, it would require an uninstall of the older software.

You can have both the TrackIR 4 and TrackIR 5 software installed at the same time

Also you can copy your profiles folder, for your old settings.

I installed the TrackIR 5 software and so now I do have both installed. The TrackIR 5 recognized the device but unfortunately when I clicked on the TrackIR4 icon it said the device was not detected. How do I get both softwares to recognize the device?

Thanks!

Did you close the TrackIR 5 software first?

Also make sure that you are using the 4.1.037 software, asw it uses the same hardware driver version as the 5.0 software. The 4.1.030 software can't detect the newer drivers.
