Driver 10.1.2 not recognizing explorer.exe

[lecra]

All,

I switched today from Beta 16 to the official 10.1.2 drivers. I noticed that in explorer.exe my Space Pilot Pro is only working when I switch from Firefox to the explorer.exe. If I'm working in 3ds Max 2014 and I switch to explorer.exe the space pilot pro is not working. The driver property window still show me 3ds Max as application. It seems that the driver is not recognizing the application.

Working on Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
I have attached the service.log file.

Many thanks in advance for a feedback.

Forgot to mention, that after have rebooted the PC and the 3dxservice is started, if I start explorer.exe and I look into the Space Pilot Pro properties, there is a sentence saying: the application selected is not supported. Additionally, when I have started 3ds Max 2014 working with the 3d mouse, and I switch over to explorer.exe, the 3d mouse is still working in the background in 3ds Max, this even when the explorer.exe window own the focus.

I think Explorer was disabled by default in that release but the Cfg is still there. If you want to enable it, open its default profile (explorer.xml in the 3DxWinCore/Cfg dir) and change the Ignore value from true to false, and also Hidden to false.

Hey jwick,

You are my hero! Thank you for your hint. Is there a reason that this is disabled by default?

Many thanks.

It's back on for the next release.

Outside of the supported options in this version, it is possible to add profiles for applications using joystick emulation outside the GUI by editing the .XML files.
