Post subject:  iMac Black Screen in Recorder ?

Hello everyone. Got a couple XBox360 Kinects to see if getting iPiSoft will help with an upcoming project. However, I am having problems even getting started: iPi Recorder sees whichever Kinect is plugged in as "Ready" (with power adapter inline), but the Setup tab shows only a black screen with 0 frames of recorded video. The green light on the front of the Kinect just blinks forever.

I installed the Microsoft SDK downloaded through the installer package, restarted, still nothing. It's the same with both Kinects so it's got to be a driver or system issue right?

My system:

iMac Boot Camp Windows 7 x64 SP1 (fresh install), ATI Radeon 6750m HD, Quad 2.5ghz i5

I notice there was another user on this forum with my issue and my exact machine but restarting fixed it. Hasn't for me. Help!

Yes, it seems so. However it still may be a hardware issue with Kinects. Can you test whether they are working on another computer?
The sequence of connection may count - first, plug in power adapter, then USB cable.

Yes, you've been helpful, and it's sorted now for one Kinect (have yet to try two at once). All I did was change one of my mice for another and it worked. Perhaps it was a bandwidth issue or a competing driver? Mysterious. It still only works on three of the four USB ports but that's obviously enough.
