You might want to consider getting a hold of "TilDeath" on here.  Not only does he build systems, but he can also get parts usually cheaper than the websites can... if nothing else I'm sure he can make some good recommendations for you.

Thanks for the info Tigger29. Unfortunately, I just saw your message and just installed the VC and PSU. I'll definitely keep TilDeath in mind for the future.

Yes and no. The game looks great now and my FPS are in the 60 - 75 range. Unfortunately, I cannot open TrackIR 5 now. Apparently there is a conflict with my card....drivers I guess.

I've posted the problem on TrackerIR forums and hopefully they can get me going.

Did you buy TrackIR 4, or TrackIR 5?

I have TrackIR 4, which is supposed to be able to run either version 4 or version 5 of the software, but I have issues running version 5 software.  If you bought TrackIR 4, try using version 4 software.

I'm wondering if there might be something wrong with your USB drivers.. or maybe something is stealing all of your USB power.  Do you have a powered USB hub?

try this, its actually simple.

completely disconnect and uninstall your track ir. if you have track ir 4 then reinstall either 4 or 5 software. i have track ir 4 but run track ir 5 software without issue.

normally when you have a conflict and uninstall and reinstall the lesser of the two hardware units the comp will assign them different irq's and will resolve your issue.

first thing first make a copy of your track ir profiles folder, rename it and leave the copy on your desk top. this way when you reinstall it after you can just put all of your saved profiles back in the profile folder and save you the headache of having to redo them from scratch.

make sure that when you uninstall the track ir you disconnect the camera, then go into device manager and uninstall track ir from the list there (go down the list to natural point, right click on it, go down the drop down list to uninstall and click), then finnally uninstall the software from program manager. reboot your computer, use whatever registery cleaner you normally use. reboot your comp again and then you are ready for a fresh install.

good luck

 Bullet,dont take this the wrong way but I would return that antec PSU and look into a seasonic or corsair psu.

 Antec PSU have a high failure rate,I went through 3 in 1 year awhile back and switched to a corsair that's run steady for 3 years now.

  Maybe you'll have better luck with your antec but I wouldn't place a bet on it.

Thanks, but I think I'll take my chances. The one I pulled out was an Antec and it was 4 years old and still quite and dependable. I do appreciate the advice though.  :cheers:

Upon TrackIr's support advice, I removed and downloaded TrackIr version 14.1.037 software. Unfortunately, it crashes my system so much I cannot use it. ATI and TrackIR 5 are not playing nice at this time. Hopefully there will be an update to fix it in the near future.

I have an ATI 5830 card and TrackIR4 and have no issues whatsoever... perhaps you just got a defective TrackIR?

TrackIr 5 worked fine with my x1300 card, but my frame rates were really low. Many people are having issues with the new ATI cards and their TrackIr 5 systems.

Wow I did not know that!  Being that is the case, I'm glad I only have version 4!!!

Considering version 4 is still available for sale, perhaps you could talk them into letting you exchange it (and paying you back the price difference)...

OK after doing some research as I was curious, I have learned that you *CAN* use V4 software with TrackIR5.  It may not be ideal, but might get you working until they can get v5 fixed up.

Have you tried it?

Thanks Tigger. I have, but it locks up if I play with the settings for too long. I think I can live with what I have after messing with it tonight. Just played AH for about 30 minutes utilizing TrackIR and feel a little drunk.  :cheers:
