Hi,
I'm getting this error when I try and run the DesktopVR program. I've tried running the compiled program as downloaded, and also running it in Visual Studio, but get the same error in both. It seems that it can find the Wiimote, but not read from it.

I can run the simple Wiimote test program with no errors (again, in Visual Studio), so am a bit puzzled as to what's wrong.

For reference, I'm using a MacBook Pro, with Windows XP (Sp2). DirectX SDK (april 2007) and Visual C# 2008 Express. I've done some C# before, but figured it was worth asking if anyone else had experienced and overcome this problem, before spending possibly hours trying to debug it.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jeremy (Grimface)

there is a difference in the connect method between johnnys app and the lib test app. if you alter johnnys app to look like the wiilib then it should work for you. i have posted the changes in the whiteboard sections

I currently have the same error and the link provided doesn't work anymore considering this is an old thread. My wiimote currently works with whiteboard but not with desktopvr, giving me the same error as the one shown in the title. Is there a possible fix for this?

notes: I'm on Vista 32-bit. direct X is installed. SDK is installed, etc. the wiimote is connected and able to calibrate with the whiteboard program. I start off by syncing my wiimote with the computer and then opening up whiteboard to calibrate it. Then, i open up desktopvr and receive the error.
