Re: ehome infrared doesn't work after June media update

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have no restore points that far back. I recently ran the disk cleanup tools to free space. Eliminating the older restore points seemed OK at the time.

Kevin,
Have you tried a system restore to a point where things were
working, prior to installing these updates? Can you go back to that?
If things start working properly, then install the updates again one
at a time until you find the one that is causing the issue.

I spoke too soon. Just woke up to no I/R. Is it normal for the device to
show up twice with slightly different names? Can I disable one in devman,
and, which one should I disable?

sounds like we found the right fix then.

I uninstalled both. On reboot it reinstalled and appears in both places
in
devman. The one in usb reads "eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR)" and the
one
in Human Interface Devices reads "Microsoft eHome Infrared Receiver" . I
will have to wait until the next sleep cycle to see if any of this had an
effect.

The device appears in USB controllers and Human Interface Devices.
Which
should be deleted? Does it matter?

do you see more than one of these devices in devman?
can you try uninstalling this device in device manager and then
doing a cold power down and then power up? do you then still see the
error in devman?

When I go to Device Manager and check the I/R device I get this :

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a
previous
instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)

I tried to use the link to check online for a solution with no luck. I
can't
find anything here, or in power management about not turning off in
sleep.

Thanks,
Kevin

Go into device manager and set the USB or the device to NOT turn off
to save power. Does this have any impact?

I have a similar problem. After recent updates my I/R transceiver
sometimes
does not come back when waking from sleep. The only fix, so far, is
to
reboot and then I am OK. If I don't want this to happen I can set
power
management to Highest performance, but then it rarely ever sleeps. I
have
Vista Home Premium and have downloaded the latest SP, running on an
HP
media
center machine.

How might one go about enabling the "consumer IR devices" setting?

This has been plaguing me for weeks!
