Hello MichalGacz,

the last active window before you activate the "Advanced" window has to be the application that you want to make the settings for - 3dsmax.

Hello MichalGacz ,

The Space Navigator uses a plug-in that is part of the 3Dconnexion driver package to
recognize 3DsMax.

With the plug-in installed, 3DxWare automatically switches to the 3DsMax profile as
soon as 3DsMax becomes the active window.

Are you opening 3Dconnexion Properties with the 3DsMax window open ?

Is 3DsMax using elevated mode [Run as Administrator] ? If it is , the 3DxWare software needs the same permission. Mis-matched permissions would keep the Space Navigator from communicating with 3DsMax.

If you are still seeing a problem let us know more - is the Space Navigator working in all of the axis direction in the demos [Start |All programs| 3Dconnexion |Demos |Jet Demo] This is unusual so we will need to know more to find the cause.
