Trackstick II 101 - Find the Lost Ring Instructables series

Step 3 Download and install the Trackstick drivers and manager

All of those who received a Trackstick to help with the city-sized labyrinths of The Lost Ring also got a letter from one of the game characters insisting several times that the drivers and Trackstick Manager software should always be installed before you hookup the Trackstick to your computer lest you'd want to give your device an untimely death. This sounds about as important as never crossing the beams, so let's take Kai's advice seriously and download the drivers and software on the official site's download page. And why not download Google Earth while you're at it, if you haven't installed it already ? We'll use it later on to fiddle with the data you gathered from moving about with your Trackstick.

I repeat : DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR TRACKSTICK TO YOUR COMPUTER WITHOUT HAVING DRIVERS AND TRACKSTICK MANAGER INSTALLED FIRST. This advice comes in a letter with the Trackstick. It comes on the Trackstick box. It comes on a red, flashy sticker that keeps the Trackstick shut. So it has to be there for a reason !

Now I enjoy Macs and open-source OS as much as any other bloke...But both drivers and software are for Windows only, for now. Done installing ? Next slide, please !
