Hi,
I have a trouble with my IR receiver and remote control. I have on my PC Windows Media Center and I want to use it for watching a TV on my computer. But it doesn't work. I have visited a lot of forums like HP forum and a lot of others. People were giving advices like: Go to TASK MANAGER and allow something or go to DEVICE MANAGER and look for eHome IR.. But I don't have any eHome IR in my device manager.
My IR reciever is connected, I know it, because when I click something on my remote control, on my IR reciever appears a red LED indicator on a while, but it does not do anything. I can't solve this problem, I don't know what's the problem (driver, connecting..)
Please help me with solving this problem.
Thanks, 59_Sss
