Vista 64 vs space navigator.. issues?
Any known issues with the space navigator's drivers and any vista 64 software? It was working fine with a new vista install, but somewhere in installing software, the spacce navigator software broke.
Un installing and re-installing doe not solve the issue.. the control panel and driver will not load, and the lights do not come on on the sn itself.
I saw something similar to this under xp32, and a rollback solved that issue, but I've been setting up the brand new vista install, and I don't want to have to reinstall everything again just for the space navigator.
Are there any security settings that could interfere, or any known incompatibilities?

Gareee,
Try this:
If you haven't saved the 3.5.6 driver to your computer:
Download the 3.5.6 driver and save it to your desktop.
Then
Make sure the Navigator is connected to the computer's usb port:
Not throough a hub, adapter, monitor or docking station.
Remove 3dconnexion from add/remove programs
Go to:
My computer C:\program files
Delete 3dconnexion.
Empty recycle bin.
Go to:
start/run and type regedit then click ok.
Click file/export and set it to save on the desktop.
Name the file registry1
Click save.
In the registry editor open hkey current user/software
Delete 3dconnexion
Open hkey local machine and do the same thing if 3dconnexion is in there.
Reboot the computer.
Install the driver you saved to the desktop.
Reboot the computer.

I had saved the driver locally.
Followed your steps, and the navigator is still dead. I even tried to run the instaler and then the control panle for it in admin mode,and that failed as well.
Could it possibly need a different usb connection on my system during install?
I'll install it on my other system here, to verify that the hardware hasn't failed, but I find that unlikely.

FWIW, I didn't get a chance to try the disconnect thing you mentioned, but I did save all this info in case it dies again.
Thanks MUCH! I never realized how much I really like using it till I didn;t have it available again.
BTW, any news of a speedup to the image browser? Comparing it to the windows one, there's quite a slowdown when going from image to image.
