Did you copy the speical Maya script files to their appropriate locations?

Check out the "readme" file for Maya within "3DConnexion" in your Windows "Start" Menu.

You just have to open the "readme" file from the Maya folder in the 3Dconnexion start menu.

Choose "Start" --> "All Programs" --> "3Dconnexion" --> "3Dconnexion Plug-In for Maya 2008" --> "Readme"

Oh - but you're using Maya 2009? My driver only has stuff for 2008. Perhaps you have a newer driver, or the 2008 files work fine with 2009? I'm not sure.

you may have to delete your usersteup file then restart maya, also make sure you have the latest drivers. i have a SP and it works fine in maya09
