IR Blaster not working

After upgrading to Win7, i don't seem to be getting any IR out of the blaster to my set top box.  The forums suggest that Update to the latest HP Remote solution download from www.hp.com/support .... but i don't see any driver/software anywhere by that name.  I looks as though the drivers are working in device manager, but that may be the receiver because my remote is working fine. Any ideas GREATLY appreicated.  thanks.

Re: IR Blaster not working

Have you run Windows Update yet and taking all of the Windows Updates for your drivers including TV Tuner?

Re: IR Blaster not working

I have been researching this same problem for a week and have not found a solution. I use HP m9340f. IR receiver and transceiver were working under windows vista 64 until I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional. The IR receiver on the media card reader works, but the IR receiver and transceiver on the back no longer functions. The 'HP Remote Solution Application Update' sp44385.exe for Windows 7 64 bit does not correct the issue. I have been trying many different combinations of suggested solutions with no results. Most advice is to install the update. Is there any new information that I may have missed?
