Well, I've been playing ArmA 2 and OA since they both came out and decided to buy a Track IR 5. I installed it and everything worked fine setting it up and etc, until I tried to start my game (Steam Version). When I launch my game with the Track IR software running I get the following error. "Cannot Initialize DirectInput. (DirectX 8 Required)" When the software is not running, my game works fine.

I've tried googling this with no luck and I also installed as you may have guessed Direct X 8 and 9 with no luck.

3.25GB of Ram
AMD Phenom 2.4 Quad Core Processor
ATI 4870 and the latest drivers (catalyst version 10.6)

P.S. I if this helps at all, i have tried restarting and i have to run my TrackIR 5 software in administrator mode for it to work. I am using windows XP 32 bit with SP3.

Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I am feeling now as if it was a waste of money but i'm hoping i can fix it. I cant wait to use it!

Bump for help? Anyone? I really want to use my TrackIR. =(

Are you runnig any keyboard/joystick software as well?

Any other applications runing in the background?

No, my joystick works without software and i am only running Steam which is required in order for me to run my game and Skype which i don't believe uses Direct X.

Any other icons, down by the clock, on the task bar?

If you run DXdiag, from the run command, what version of direct x does it list?

I'm using DirectX 9.0c and a print screen of my process running is in the SS.


Just my GFX card drivers, my sound drivers, steam and my internet connection program.

Does this occur with both the IR 4, and IR5 software?

Actually, i tried the IR 4 software today and it works but its defenaintly easier to use 5.
