All the threads I have read say to go to device manager, then Human Interface Devices, then uninstall, then reboot.

The problem is that microsoft ehome infrared transceiver NEVER shows up in Human Interface Devices.

The eHome Infrared Receiver does show up under usb controllers.

Microsoft Ehome Windows 7 PCs And

I have tried plugging the receiver into 2 other windows 7 PCs and the receiver and remote work perfectly.

I have looked all over for just the microsoft ehome infrared transceiver but have struck out.

The eHome Infrared Receiver was installed, but not the microsoft ehome infrared transceiver.

Microsoft Ehome Driver That Has

This lists every usb device driver that has been plugged into your PC, and you can use it to uninstall drivers.

If you arent sure about what to do, run the tool, and attach a screenshot.

If you can uninstall the incorrect drivers, maybe you can try plugging it back in to see if it installs the correct ones.

If you still see both drivers pop up with only the transiever plugged in, try deleting the bottom driver.

I think windows is just getting confused about which driver to use.

Once again the eHome Infrared Receiver gets installed under usb controlers and the microsoft ehome infrared transceiver driver does not get installed under the Human Interface Devices.

From there can you manually pick which driver to use from the device manager.

You will find what I need in YOUR Human Interface Devices in device manager.

It sounds like your drivers are there but windows is getting messed up somewhere.

How do you feel about firing up usbdeview and uninstalling everything you dont use minus perhaps your mouse to reboot.

I came across a utility about a year back where you can assign a driver to a USB device if I remember correctly.

Maybe unplug the usb receiver after uninstalling the driver and then reboot, then plug it back in once Windows has loaded I remember one old AMD based HTPC I built that didnt always install the full drivers.

The remote and receiver work but now I have no sound at all and I have codec problems GEEZE.
