I work with Spaceball 4000 FLX on my Windows Vista (32-bit) computer. Downloaded the last driver. When my computer starts i hear the familiar 2 beeps comming from the Spaceball.

But when i try to start de 3Dxconnexion driver, i get the message 3D Controller Could not be detected.

When i unplug the cable and replug it again, i hear again the beeps. So there must be a connection.

What can i try more?

This is urgent.

Spaceball 4000, 5000 Serial devices, are not supported on Vista.
The driver is only supported on Win XP(32 bit) Win 2000.

Dear,

I found the solution for the problem. After installing the driver, Vista changed the number of the COM-port to 15.

I changed it to COM1 and heard a long serie of beeps. Then after a while the beping stopped. And guess what the Spaceball works fine in Windows Vista.

So problem solved.
