I know there are no Vista drivers for Tira2 but Vista accepted the 98/ME/2000/XP driver and the device installs nicely with a COM port in device manager (Tira USB IR Adapter (COM3)).
I've tried both EventGhost and Girder and neither can access the device using COM3. However the Tira configuration dialog for EventGhost and Girder are different.
EventGhost lists only the actual port in use by Tira, COM3.
Girder lists COM1-8 AND a port called USB HE000001. If I select this port the device works perfectly!
Is there any way to select port USB HE000001 instead of COM3 in EventGhost?
Thanks

Tira2 in Vista
This is nothing to do with vista, but more to do with the drivers for Tira2, only because i hit a small issue with Tira2 and EG just yesterday on WINXP (after reinstalling everything). 
A specific version of the Tira2 drivers need to be installed for EG to work properly with Tira2, well at least my Tira2. I can post the drivers that work on my site so you can test and verify vista compatibility.
The new / latest drivers (for Tira2) on the home-electro site don't work with EG.
These work http://eg.wolf359.cjb.net/drivers/Tira2 ... Driver.zip
at least they do for me.
Cheers

That's excellent!
Well this version was from home-electro a long, loooong time ago, they are just generic VCP drivers.
I'm just mad, I keep just about every driver version I download.
On my new install I dl'd the new drivers from home-electro and bam EG & Tira2 stopped working.
I have a fair few Tira2 drivers but i didn't fancy trying every old one.
I was just lucky I had an image of my old HDD of which i knew Tira2 was working perfectly, i just compared the inf file (mine was oem17.inf in the inf folder) from my old windows to every driver version of Tira2's FTDIBUS.INF and found it and stored it safely away labeled correctly.
Phew!
I did think my Tira2 was stuffed and also didn't fancy installing and setting up girder3 again.
Maybe one day, later no hurry, we can get the new driver version working with EG, for completeness sake.
