AimTrak Light gun not responding at all
« on: October 07, 2011, 12:17:44 am »
Hey guys. Setting up my PC for my first cabinet build. I got my AimTrak Light gun today and set it up. Tried the calibration... The cursor moved to the top left then right then bottom which just kept doing it over and over. Restarted and now nothing happens the cursor does not move or anything.

I tried the trouble shooting stuff, 2feet away, nothing obstructing it IR. Any ideas?

Im running winXP BTW.

I have just added some extra content in the troubleshooting section on http://www.ultimarc.com/aimtrak.html which might help. Additionally the config utility will display a message about reason for calibration failure if its open on the "data" tab while calibrating.
The cursor should always move though even before calibrating, is it not moving even after reboot?

I tried standing back 4 feet, 3 feet 2 feet. Nothing moves. Cursor just sits there. Yes even after reboot. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it.

The computer was reformatted just for this arcade. So there is not much software on it that could cause problems. I'm using an xbox 360 for PC pad just to test out the games before I build my cp. Had to install a driver for it. Could that be messing up the gun?

 :applaud:Fixed. I uninstalled the 2 drivers (game controllers) and put them back in. Works like a charm now.

Did you reinstall the controller drivers?
