hi,
i have a very old Natural Point with the Serial 007xxx. That means that i can only use the SmartNav 2.20 Version. With XP it was working well but now i have Windows 7 64 Bit and it doesn`t work anymore. Ok, the software is released 2003.
Now the question is, is there a possibility to run the V.2.2 with Windows 7? If not, i have to buy a new Natural Point which works with SmartNav 3 or 4, right?
Exuse my english...

SmartNav 2.20 and Windows 7 64Bit? Any Chance?
Re: SmartNav 2.20 and Windows 7 64Bit? Any Chance?
I do not work for NaturalPoint, so I may be wrong, but you could try running the software in XP compatibility mode. Right-click on the SmartNav software icon, click on properties then on the compatibility tab, then check the run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP in the drop-down box.
It may or may not work, but if it does, then at least you don't need to get a new SmartNav. On the other hand, it may be a good time/excuse to upgrade.

Thx for the answer. I tried to run the software in XP compatibility mode and as administrator but it didn`t work.
I can install the software, but when i plug in the device it is marked as unknown device in system control, so the driver didn�t work.

Unfortunately, Windows 7 requires certified drivers, which are not part of the 2.20 software.
The SmartNav 2.20 drivers are also only available for 32 bit operating systems, they will not work with 64 bit operating systems.

Iam using smartnav version 3.2 build 3.2 . I have got a new computer with windows 7 on a laptop.Sometimes certain programs when I open them switch off smartnav mouse and I have to use touchpad mouse (laptop).Will updating to new 5.0 driver fix this?

1.10 : Why does the SmartNav stop responding in Vista/Windows 7 when trying to install applications or perform OS Administration tasks?
This issue is caused by the computer's operating system changing into a different permission level, where the SmartNav is not accessible. You can bypass the issue by following the steps listed below.
Disable and Turnoff UAC in Windows 7 from Control Panel
1. Access User Control Panel from Start Menu -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Account
2. Click on User Account Control settings link
3. Move the Slider to Never Notify
4. Click OK to make the change effective
5. Reboot
