3dxware not launching in Vista 64x

Post by nicolai »

Hi,
I downloaded the 3.6.4 version of 3dxsoftware and i'm having some troubles getting it to start.
I'm running Vista 64bit Enterprise. The driver doesn't appear to respond at all. Nothing happens when i run 'start driver' and the demo's i try to open, close within a few seconds.

Any ideas?

What device are you using?
Is it a Serial or USB?

Try pushing 1,2 button in then plug the device into the usb and start driver.

Vista requires our driver to be run as administrator.

Locate the file (C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxWare\3dxsrv.exe) rightclick and select properties click on compatibilities and check (Run as administrator).

So weird but it works ;-)
