 I have been messing around with this new firmware and software.
I do think its a lot better than previous version.
( Especially love being able to track 2 cursors on desktop)

 However I have noticed that my Laptop does not like the
new version at all! 

I'm sure it is probably some changes that were made not agreeing
with my setup. I am sending video out of my laptop by S-Video cable
to the TV. So I'm trying to use the TV to track instead of the
tiny Laptop screen.

It wasn't perfect with version 1 on Laptop
but version 2 on Laptop Jitters like made. is uncontrollable and is
prone to completely lock up.


Even if I can Never use it on Laptop that is OK...

Because it is Flawless on My 19 in Crt Monitor... 




OK Don't want to interrupt the thread...
Just Rambling.

Have you tested on XP x64? I am not able to get the firmware updater to work. The software works, and immediately tells me I need to update my AimTrak firmware (1.1). When I click the Assign ID, then Upgrade button and then OK it gives a Windows error trying to launch the uupload exe file. Attached are the results it wants to send to Microsoft, if that helps at all.

Does it rely on any services? I have disabled some, and maybe that is causing an issue? I also tried running uupload.exe as Administrator, and without restrictions with the same result. Any other thoughts?

FYI, I was able to use another computer (32-bit XP) and update the firmware of the AimTraks. So it appears to be either a XP x64 issue, or an issue with a service not being available.

We didnt test the firmware update utility on XP64 so there may well be problems. I will do some further testing on Windows 7 64 and maybe that will uncover some issue which might apply to XP64. Only the update utility is affected, the device would work of course on XP64.
