Tips for setting up your Kinect for Windows sensor You have to ensure that your computer is running Windows 7 and has the latest drivers from Windows Update. You need to center the sensor horizontally in front of your monitor or screen. You can also follow the setup instructions in the application. You should position the sensor on a flat, stable surface, away from any edge. Never position the sensor on a stereo speaker or vibrating surface. Never tilt the sensor manually. You have to ensure that the sensor can tilt freely and the front is not obstructed by power cords, computer cables, or other solid objects. You should keep the sensor away from direct sunlight. Avoid positioning the sensor near a fan, stereo speaker, or loud machinery to minimize possible voice-recognition issues. Always try to keep the lens clean. If you’re using any mounting accessory, you should ensure that the sensor is mounted correctly.
