100% CPU usage

Post by Tom Kirkman »

I have a SpaceNavigator PE. I bought this to test to see if we would like to use this corporate wide. I am replacing a Spaceball 3003.

The problem is when I start the 3dxware driver, It takes up 100% of 1 cpu. The leds turn on but the navigator does not work.

I tested this in my application as well as the demos provided by 3dconnexion.

I followed previous posts on how to completly unistall and reinstall the software, including editing the registry. I even made sure any files related to the navigator was removed from my hard drive.

Windows xp,
IMB instellistation Zpro

I have seen similar posts to this, has anyone actually found a solution? Or should I just give up on the navigator all together as a viable solution?

Thanks

100% CPU usage?

Post by Bryan »

Dear Tom Kirkman,

What release version of 3DxSoftware do you have installed? (3Dconnexion Control Panel, Help Menu, About Item)

What is the spelling of the file name that is consuming 100% of your CPU cycles?

Sincerely,
Bryan

I am using

Release Version: 3.6.11
Driver Version 6.6.4
Firmware Version 3.18


The file that is taking up 100% of the resources (on 1 of 2 CPUS) is 3dxsrv.exe.

Thanks

Tom
