Mapper2 - Error Initializing Input Devices [RESOLVED]

[Robert B]

Occasionally I've had the problem where the Mapper2.exe program would error out at startup with the message "Error Initializing Input Devices". Sometimes just trying to restart the program resolved the issue, other times I had to reboot.

I've done a search for the solution in the forums and not seen one. Recently, I stumbled upon the solution. When this error occurs, you can eliminate it by running the Mapper2.exe program as Administrator. I'm guessing there is a privilege conflict that this setting overrides and corrects the issue.

I just wanted to share this discovery with the NMA crew...

Funny thing that...it sometimes happens when I'm running another program (media jukebox), when I quit that program the mapper runs fine.

Agreed @.Pixote. . It's an odd error that comes and goes. Let everyone know if running the mapper2.exe in admin mode works next time you get the error and have the media jukebox running.

I'm only getting it if I alt+tab out of the mapper, then forget I had it open already and start mapper.exe again.
