I believe it would be in the same location, or under all users........

Not always though. When i plug it in another USB port it is solved, but comes back after a while or after one or two reboots. I am almost sure it has something to do with the Vista USB connection. Same behavior with 32 and 64 bit. I didn't have this problem under XP.CheersHeiko

I recently got a Track IR 4, and it works just great.Just plug and play with FSX.I really had to do nothing other than install the drivers 'as administrator'.It's a great product. Vince, you should really talk with MS about them packaging the product with a new FSX Ultimate, it might be just want is needed to get FSX rolling.I dont know how I ever flew without it, its that good.Only downside is the price. Just wanted to post a good experience in this thread that may be giving some the wrong idea of the product.

Actually, we have created our own package that combines the TrackIR 4 with FSX......http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/TrackIR4 ProTrackClip ProFSX Deluxe$199.00

Look at the USB power ssaving options for the USB root hubs....

If you guys are Vista users then you should try running both FSX and your TrackIR device as administrator. Vista is very strict about permissions with some files and folders having a very strictly read only status, and not having permission to even execute.Have a look at the Security tab of a file or folder's Properties dialogue.Mike.
