Redeye Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Only red when profile is active, and I usually quit out of TiR agter use as I have noticed it can get flaky. Same here. TIR3 pro Could possibly be a bios setting or something on your mainboard that allows the pc to 'wake' on a command from a usb device? therefore always powered? I dunno - just thinking (typing) out loud..... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 This is what I am seeing on my Track IR except it flickers red/ green. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 In case you think back light is getting in, I covered my computer, camera, head with a blanket excluding all ouside light. Same result with the red and green flickering screen. I am going to try cleaning out the drivers and reinstalling again, just in case. I am determined to get this fixed.

Blairgowrie Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Just tried it on my back up computer and it works fine. I think this may be a corrupt driver so I have posted on the Natural Point Forms for advice on how to do a unistall including deleting registry entires and reinstalling a fresh clean driver.

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 31, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Jim: What are your tracking settings? These are the ones I am using to good effect, the dot size is critical as is Object Type. You seem to be picking up on a single dot, not the Vector clip. Is the vector expansion enabled too?

Blairgowrie Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Same as your B16. I am using Charvels profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 This is what I got back from Natural Point Forum. In the registry we need to make the following changes: NOTE: Be sure to remove any entries in "Add/Remove Programs" for the TrackIR software. 1. Removing the USB ID's for the TrackIR in the registry and any multiple copies. You can access the registry by doing the following: A. Click "Start" then "Run". B. Type: "Regedt32" and press "Enter". C. When it's loaded be sure to give yourself "Full Control" permissions for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE". You can do this by right-clicking on it. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x\Enum\USB NOTE: The above might have multiple entries where "ControlSet00x" might be "001" and "002" and so on. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB All of these braches needs the following entries removed: - Vid_131d&Pid_0155 - vid_131d&pid_0150 - VID_0547&PID_1002 NOTE: Please let me know which of these where found. 2. We also need to remove our USB driver services. There also may be multiple copies as well. "NPUSB" is what you would want to delete. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x\Services\NPUSB NOTE: The above might have multiple entries where "ControlSet00x" might be "001" and "002" and so on. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NPUSB 3. Also delete any entries that have this string: - 5&206F11E9&0&2 That's the extent we need deleted from the registry. 4. Now we need the following files deleted from the C:\Windows\INF folder. - NPUSB3.INF - NPUSB3.PNF The following file is located in: C:\WINNT\system32\drivers - NPUSB.SYS 5. Now we can install the current drivers for the TrackIR. Link is below for convenience. NOTE: Do not connect the TrackIR before installing this software! http://media.naturalpoint.com/software/ ... .Final.exe After the software is installed reconnect the TrackIR and it should allow the driver to be installed Properly this time into the "Device Manager". -------------------- NaturalPoint Technical Support Support@NaturalPoint.com http://www.naturalpoint.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 31, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I see they have asked you to use regedt32 as opposed to the usual regedit. Subtle but profound differences, like permissions etc. Fingers crossed that that resolves it for you BG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi B16. Here are the results. Not good m8 Removed all Track IR components via Add/Remove. Under control set 001 and 003 I found entries for -vid_131d&pid_0155. When I tried to delete them I got a message "Cannot delete vid_131d&pid_o155. Error while deleting key. Was able to delete the NPUSB entries in both control sets. Could not find any entries with 5&206F11E9&0&2 Could not find C:\Windows\INF folder Did a search for NPUSB3.INF and NPUSB3.PNF but could not locate Deleted C:\Win\System32\drivers\NPUSB.SYS Reinstalled Final1.exe Rebooted. Connected Track IR 3 camera Searched for drivers and appeared to install ok but got an error message saying error and hardware might not work. No lights came on in unit and it would not function. Repeated above steps three times with no success. Took unit to a back-up computer where it worked perfectly. Did a Windows XP reformat 2 weeks ago on my primary computer.

Blairgowrie Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks Rog. I am going to fly with it for the next few coop meetings and if it stays good, I will send this one off to Cold_Gambler then upgrade to TrackIR 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBloke Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Just a quick heads up. I'm sure Rog is aware and on top of this but there was a reported security bug in ver 4.1.1. A user could gain access to your machine WITHOUT knowing the VNC password. Don't start panicking too quickly. IF you have windows passwords and leave your machine locked or logged off then chances of breach are minimal. If you dont have passwords the the chances are still minimal as your a needle in a haystack that probably has a very small internet footprint for someone to be bothered in gaining access. ie your not a large server. Good security measures are: Use passwords to safe guard user accounts. When using VNC consider setting lock windows on disconnect. (when accessing remotely.) Turn it off when finished with (when using it to help others) Use Windows standard "Blank screen" screen saver with password protection. (all your programs continue to run but you must use your password to get back in) S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted September 1, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Very good points Chris. I always encourage the setting of a good strong logon password for windows, it's far less inconvenient to have to log on than it is to undo the ravages left by some pimply twat having 'fun'. With VNC I also have stated, and perhaps should re-iterate, that it should NOT BE INSTALLED AS A SERVICE better to enable it as and when the need requires . It is great having you on board Chris, your technical knowledge is only second to your ability to pepper my arse . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
