I just purchased a used Space Mouse Plus w/serial cable. I installed the correct software from the 3DConnexion website, software installed OK. But I keep getting an error message that it cannot find a 3D Device. When the computer boots up the device beeps but will not load the driver because it cannot find the Space Mouse Plus.
The 3DConnexion website mentions a power adapter if this problem occurs, but there is no place to plug in an power adapter to the Space Mouse Plus.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Space Mouse Plus
Hi rarredondo,
If you are already using release 2.8, then we will need research this issue further.
Serial devices are no longer supported in release 3. You will need to download the previous release, 3DxSoftware v. 2.8 (see here and make sure you select "SpaceMouse Plug serial").rarredondo wrote:I just purchased a used Space Mouse Plus w/serial cable.

Checked serial port, appears to be working according to Device Manager, I don't really know what else to check. Everytime I manually start the driver, the Space Mouse Plus beeps. Then I get the error message cannot find 3D controller. I tried different Bits Per Second settings, nothing seems to work. I tried disabling serial port and enabling, then unistalling then restarting windows, nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.

rarredondo,
Please take a look at this FAQ I recently pulled off our website. It may help.
I have installed the driver (3DxWare), but it cannot find my serial SpaceMouse/SpaceBall. It reports that "No 3D Motion Controller Could Be Detected." What should I do?
1. Verify the motion controller is connected to the machine.
2. If it is still not working, try the following steps to specify the COM port. This solution is only valid for a serial device. Changing the com will not affect a USB device.
Go to Start...Programs...3Dconnexion...3DxWare...(right click) on "Start Driver" go to "Properties."
Edit the "Target" line.
Old Line: "C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxSrv.exe" -SearchWarnDlg
New line: "C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxSrv.exe" -com 1.
Return to "Start Driver" and select it to start the driver.
