There is a feature in the plug-in to automatically recalculate the centre-of-rotation when the scene changes. Try disabling the "Auto Rotation Center" option in the pop-up menu > "Rotation Centre". By default, you can access the popup menu by pressing the "Menu" button ...

If you do not touch the sensor cap when you hit the "Calibrate" button, the device will have its rest position properly reset. If you do hold the device and then hit the button, you can see that the 3D view or object will be constantly moving. This is because the sensor mechanical rest pos...

The MFC dependency is wrong. It should be "MFC100U.DLL". Somehow your system is causing the project to be built incorrectly.

The installation of VS2008 Express probably added the MFC42U.DLL file and now the program seems to run well.

You have a suspicious semi-colon at the end of an if() statement.

There are no differences between the code snippets.

Did I win? Where's my prize?

That's correct.

If you load your executable in Dependency Walker, what are the file names of "MFC<something>.dll" and "MSVCR<something>.dll"?

I don't think so. It appears the error comes up because of how the project is converted.

If you look in the "Properties" of your VS2010 -converted project, what is the option "Platform Toolset" assigned to?

Have you tried recalibrating the sensor?

Hi jamessawle, Is it as thought the 3D mouse was being activated but no-one is touching the sensor cap? If you start the device with something leaning against the cap (even a single sheet of paper is enough), the device will have its "rest position" redefined and may be constantly sending ...

Uninstall the SDK and confirm that no files are left in C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion. Then reinstall the SDK and copy the "3DxWare SDK" folder to a separate location (say C:\Temp\3DxWare SDK). Then open the .sln file in VS2010 and follow the conversion wizard. After that, rebuild. This wor...

When you build a program, it will normally have a dependency on the runtime libraries it has been linked against. If the libraries are missing, then the program will fail to start.

Apple has a KB article explaining the USB power characteristics and behaviour of Mac. Power to USB powers should be turned off is the display is set to switch off.

It seems that the runtime dependencies (libs) are not install on your system (which is off if VS2010 is).

Hi jamessawle,

I believe OS X systems will cut the power to the USB ports when switched off. They may keep the ports powered up in sleep mode, though. Can you confirm you are shutting down the system and still see the blue ring turned on?

Hi Spackle42, Bit concerned that I had to dig into the registry to change this though. I'm fairly tech savvy but this could be a bit dangerous for someone that's not very tech literate. You are correct. Editing the Registry is only recommended for experienced users as a deleting the wrong data can c...
