5dt plug-in not working after upgrade

Thanks for the tip,

I actually tried doing method 1, but with my older
version of Vizard that was not possible. I downloaded
the newest version of Vizard and rotation worked
well, but then I got a brand new problem.

It looks like the new 5DT.dls is not working properly or
the new Vizard simply can't communicate with 5DT gloves.
I get a message like, "ERROR: Failed to connect to
5DT glove on COM3". Same for COM4.

my code looks like:
PORT_5DT = 3
glove_left = viz.add('5DT.dls')
PORT_5DT = 4
glove_right = viz.add('5DT.dls')

The odd thing is that after crashing this way,
ports 3 and 4 get "disabled". Even 5DT Glove Manager
can't accesss those ports after that. What I then do is
disable and re-enable com3 and com4 in the windows
hardware device manager.

Where exactly does Vizard look for plugins first?
Does it look in multiple directories?
