Try to sign in as admin and right click and alter the properties, execute as administrator (and/or) you might want to use the compatibility mode.

It depends on your OS (Vista/Xp/7/64/32) if you can use the drivers.
But if you follow the steps from the first post, it should work (probably).

You have to go into your device overview and select the correct HID corresponding with your 3Dmouse, then select the other driver.

If the driver isn't supported, you can either choose to set UAC off, or find a software package which circumvents these unsigned driver issues.

There are some packages for unsinged drivers mentioned on this thread, at least I think so.

Else: a search engine is your friend!

my pc install the driver but after that windows says
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39).
i selected the right device and my windows dosn´t block unsignt drivers ... (in an older post i sayd how i do that)

i copid the RBC9-SpaceNav.inf and the RBC9-SpaceNav.sys files in
c/windows/system32/drivers /
and c/windows/system32/

but it dosn´t work !!!

Anumunrama,
I have the same setup, so I am interested if you can get it to work.
I'm a little scared to wreck my system.

Are you pressing F8 when you reboot to allow the unsigned drivers to load?

Should the 64 bit drivers really be placed in the system32/drivers directory? That seems odd, but I am a newbie at this.

I don't mind buying xpadder, but I want to know that I won't run into an unsolvable problem first!

Thanks GTWillemsen for all your posts. You are kind to reply all the time.

thanks.

I just installed RCB9 and it tells me "spacePilot not found" :( not sure why it does this but all my other apps are working fine. The only thing I can guess is that its because my SpacePilot is brand HP.. :?: Was really looking forward to playing some RTS with this thing.. :(

for unsignt drivers i use this:

with this little code i forced vista to load unsigned drivers

Code: Select all

bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
write this into the CMD line (with admin rights)
after that your pc need a reboot

[/code]

OK, I've read the whole stupid (yes, not stupid, but verrry looong) thread.

I think you are supposed to copy the .sys file to c:\windows\system32\drivers and the .inf file to c:\windows\inf *not* what you listed in your post above.

Maybe that's your problem.

Access via DirectInput

Post by kabesc »

Hello to all,

I have read most parts of this thread, since I also want to use my Space Navigator to work as a joystick and/or mouse. I am using Vista x64 - seems to be the reason, why the solution provided and discussed here poses some problems.

Recently I found out, that one can access the Space Navigator (and possibly all of the other 3d mices?!) via DirectInput. So, I am wondering if it wouldn't be easier to just write a small app, that continuously reads the axes and buttons data and transforms it to mouse movements/mouse clicks (by Windows API calls)?!

I guess, someone else tried this before - so I would be happy if I get some response, why this would work/not work.

Regard,
Karl

SpacePilot isn't supported, due to a bug. But the developer never got around that bug....
So same problem here..

Yes, I tried it. But I have problem still...
When i click on "Properties" Driver status is:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)
I don't know, what is wrong... I proceed along procedure on first page. Exactly.
