Spacenavigator not working-Win 7 64 bit

[gavinfla]

I tried using my spacenavigator with my new Dell Precision M6500 (Win7-64bit) it works fine with google earth so I know the updated driver works okay. But in 3d max 8 it doesn't work nor does not even show up in utilitys. In Solidworks in loads the Add-ins an it shows up on my menu bar an momentary lights up and becomes grayed out once the program finishes loading. It doesn't function.
Would like too hear from anyone experiencing the same issue or help with this issue
Thanks & best wishes for holidays

Dear gavinfla,

What release version do you read in the 'About' Item under the 'Help' Menu in the '3Dconnexion Control Panel'?

Only AutoDesk's 3DS MAX versions 9 thru 2011 make use of our navigation devices.

What version of SolidWorks are you using?

What kind of response do you find in our Jet Demo?
(Start > All Programs > 3Dconnexion > Demos)

Sincerely,
Bryan

Hi Bryan, thanks for responding, after I did a clean un-install and re-install the release ver. 3.12.2, driver ver. 6.12.0 and firmware ver. 3.18, 64 bit 3Dconnexion driver I elected to customize the install and saw that only 3d max9 is supported and I am using SW 2007 32bit version.
I think I am out of luck.
Cheers.

In the Jet Demo the spacenavigator work fine, I opened Photoshop CS5 after my last post reply and it asked me to create a hotkey for my 3d mouse, which I was not getting before. So I guess the clean un-install did some good. So unfortunately for SW2007 & 3d Max8 it will have to resort to the old fashion way.

Cheers, and happy holiday
