I am a n00b with a long story and a lot of problems:
I went and downloaded WiiDesktopVR and connected my wiimote through the microsoft bluetooth stack (it works, both wiimote-gui and wiinremote can find it, although the latter won't read my motion sensor), but it brought up the "error reading data from wii remote... is it connnected?" message and closed. I then downloaded the WiiDesktopVR fix from the "I can't get *insert jonnys apps name here* to work" and ran it. It  changed the error message. It now says "could not intialize direct3d. this tutorial will now exit." I have tried to fix it, but me not being THAT great at computers I couldn't get it.

Help?  Cry

Welcome tho the forum!

In order to troubleshoot and help you out we need more about your computer

What version of directX do you have ?
Did you download the directX SDK ?
Do you have to images (png's in your application root folder(VR desktop)

Right. Sorry.

Answer to question 1: I have DirectX 9, which works on my computer (I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a Nvidia GeforceFX Go5200). I ran every test, no problems.
Answer to question 2: No, I haven't, but I am downloading it right now. I'll provide an update. Smiley
Answer to question 3: If I put them in the same folder, it will go back to "Error reading data from wiimote... is it connected?"

This is really killing me.
Help?

OK you need the SDK so try again after it is installed - I know its a big file to downlaod,  but I can assure you it's worth it Smiley

please let us all know if this works out - if not we try something else...

take batteries off wait 20 seconds. use red button (sync button near batteries) instead of 1 & 2 combination to connect your wiimote to your pc. your wiimote should work with wiimotelib and glovepie (not wiinremote)(bluetooth fix is enabled for me in glovepie)

I've got the same exact problem (similar specs, too), and using GlovePIE with the wiimote works just fine. I even had the program working a few days ago but for some reason it's not working this time.

So I downloaded the latest version of Bluesoleil (5.0.5) and it works just fine now. Have you tried that?
