I have tried uninstalling, shutting down, reconnecting multiple times. In my Device Manager the eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR) is recognized. Just the card reader to a MOBO USB, the card reader with the front connector port box connected to it and to the tuner card, the card reader with extender attached, etc. My extender board does not have IR Controller Electronics on it (no MOBO connector). The IR extender board out back to control other devices, and I don't want it in the new case unless it has to be there to get the TV / remote working. However, I'm not sure what parts I need to transfer over from the 9040 case to get the remote to work and set up Live TV. My 9040 has the remote sensor in the front card reader. I am still using the OE TV tuner that came in the HP 9040. I get the IR hardware not detected during setup. Now I have to set up Live TV again and can not. (I was previously running Windows Vista Home Premium x32.) They upgraded me to I took my computer to a shop to recover my old data. Since then I have purchased a new aftermarket case, graphics card, power supply, motherboard, RAM. Turns out my graphics cardĪnd motherboard were bad.
I told HP I had a hardware problem, but they had me try a bunch of software repairs then a recovery (and then I had no luck restoring my files). After the setup, I just removed the dummy headset from the transceiver box and everything continues to work perfectly. Since I'm using an IR Cable Bug in one of the jacks, it is allowing me to control channels.
I plugged a headset cable into the empty jack during the setup process and Media Center finally recognized the IR Device and allowed me to One is already connected to the Comcast Set Top box and the other was empty. This suggestion was the ticket! My Receiver has two
i hope this helped because it sure drove me nuts I'm using the MCE Remote Control and Receiver on a Windows 7 64bit system. Like it used to before in vista I'm satisfied for now till i get around to buying some IR bugs. Ok after millions of attempts trying all sorts of things i finally ended up shoving two headphones into the jack of the usb hub for the MCE remote and vaalla it worked got past the ir hardware detection although it doesn't control my set top box It may be worth it to get a newer reader with Windows 7 support card readers are cheap (< $20 for a multiformat reader is common).
The device for compatibility prior to upgrade? If its not supported. I would take the external card reader and plug it into a different USB port, if it still fails again it is a completely different problem than described here.
In my case was simply that after the upgrade the device was not detected correctly. I would go to the manufacturer of the reader, since its external I assume you purchased it after-market. In the case of your external card reader I don't know. Windows just needed to detect the device correctly.
When the computer has fully booted, the drivers instantly fail installing. I'm pretty sure it's just an external version of the same device.įollowing the solution did not work for me however. I know it's a bit late, but I have the same problem with an external card reader, using the same software.
