Hi All!
I'm very new to this infrared stuff. I have an Asus G50Vt laptop with a built-in IR device, running windows 7 x64. I tried to install the software from the Asus download page. The software is labeled as "ITE Remote Controller Application for Win7 Version 5.1.0.1." The software didn't install, it gave a cryptic error. So I just installed it using the .inf. It shows in device manager as ITECIR Infrared Receiver (EC). Also showing now in device manager are Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver, 3x HID-Compliant Device, 2x HID-Compliant Consumer Control Device. The driver version is 5.1.0.1, dated 01/05/2009.
In EventGhost 0.3.7.r1462, I added a plugin - Generic HID - and none of the individual detected devices seemed to be working. I added a plugin for each detected device and this is what shows in the log:
8:13:54 PM ---> Welcome to EventGhost <---

8:13:54 PM Plugin: HID: @input.inf,%hid_device%;HID-compliant device

I tried updating the driver for this ITECIR device from windows update and now it is 5.1.0.6, dated 24/02/2010. I get the same result (removing the plugins and readding them.)
I tried two different TV remotes pointing at the IR port on my laptop and nothing shows in the eventghost log. Any idea what I can do? Thanks in advance!
