Kinect not behaving

[Mark McLeod]

I assume the Kinect light on the DS Diagnostic Tab is not green.

Try running the Kinect Server in debug mode to see if you get other information (under Program Files\FRC Kinect Server).

Have you tested the Microsoft Kinect apps installed with the SDK?
Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Kinect\v1.0 Beta2\Samples\bin\Microsoft Skeletal Viewer-WPF

If the Microsoft stuff works then an uninstall/reinstall of the Kinect Server is called for.

If the Microsoft stuff fails, then an uninstall/reinstall of the SDK might help, or there might be other services/tools required that your PC might be missing or have mismatched versions of. You can check under Start->Control Panel->System and Security->Device Manager->System to see if there are three Kinect entries and all are enabled.
