Oculus Rift DK2 does not work (Win 7 x64)

Hello,

I installed the Hardware and the llight on the oculus was blue. I could see a Piece of my Desktop in the oculus.

Then I installed the Oculus runtime. It said successfully, I restarted my PC after the restart the light was orange!

When starting the Configuration Utility, it is disabled (everything on its form).

It says "The oculus Service is not available".

When starting the rift it says:

There is a Problem with your Installation. OVRService is NOT connected!
And there is always everything disabled.

I remove the runtime, restarted, and the light was blue again!
I installed it again and the the last one before the latest, and the light is orange again! :oops:

If no runtime installed, in my Display Settings I see a 2nd device, if it is installed, the light is orange and there is no 2nd device!

Got it today, a fresh DK2 kit.

Please help me! Thanks a lot,

Eric Behme

The light is blue in Extended Mode, and orange in Direct Mode (except while in game). So that is normal.

Sounds like your issues is with the Oculus service not starting.

Can you try installing the runtime again with run as admin?

Also, if you have security/firewall software like ZoneAlarm or Comodo, you may have to disable or uninstall first.

So it will not really work behind a corporate firewall?
