Perception won't open

[Tyler2000]

I'm trying to get vireio perception to work with the oculus rift and skyrim. The first time I tried it, there were black bars on the sides and headtracking didn't work. Now vireio perception won't open at all. I click perception.exe and nothing happens after Windows 7 asks me if I'm sure I want to run this program. I've turned off avast and I've tried running it as administrator but it still won't open.

That doesn't sound right at all.

1. Delete the driver and all its directories.
2. Is your computer in clone mode? 1280X800X60Hz - not more, not less.
3. Does Skyrim run in this scenario (full screen)
4. Run a verify game cache in Steam. Make sure all is well.
5. Make sure bdeferredshadows=0 in skyrimprefs.ini
6. Reinstall Perception drivers

Let me know how things go.

1. Delete the driver and all its directories.
done

2. Is your computer in clone mode? 1280X800X60Hz - not more, not less.
yes

3. Does Skyrim run in this scenario (full screen)
yes, skyrim always runs

4. Run a verify game cache in Steam. Make sure all is well.
I don't know how to do this but I don't see what it has to do with getting Perception to run before I start skyrim.

5. Make sure bdeferredshadows=0 in skyrimprefs.ini
done

6. Reinstall Perception drivers
I redownloaded and unzipped it. Is there another step?

The perception window still isn't coming up like it did before.

Can you share your exact hardware and OS specs?

1. Is SLI / CrossFire OFF?
2. How many displays do you have physically connected to your computer? You should only have one PLUS the Rift.

Windows 7 32-bit ultimate
Intel 3.0GHZ dual core
4GB Memory
Nvidia 460 not SLI
only one monitor

I wonder if it could be a 32-bit issue? I always tested with Win7 64-bit.

[Neil]

This is a very good point. I don't have any 32 bit systems.

Would the way the drivers were compiled impact this, I wonder?

We'll see what we can dig up. I didn't realize people voluntarily used 32 bit OS anymore.

It came with Vista 32-bit in 2008 and when I upgraded to 7 it wouldn't let me switch to 64-bit.
