Re: IR Hardware Not Detected - PLEASE HELP!!!

Manta -

I am assuming your IR Receiver is a USB one.

1.) Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB port.

2.) Move the IR connector to another USB port.

This sounds silly considering it is a USB IR however, I found that on my
system there was some problem where the IR Blaster would not work. Once I
changed the USB port it magically started working.
