[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 1264664, member: 49539"] My HTPC recently stopped responding to IR signals. At first I suspected a HW problem, but the problem remains with two different IR sources (one an original MCE remote with fresh batteries) and with two different IR receivers (one the onboard CIR decoder on my motherboard, the other the USB IR I/F from my HTPC case. The next logical suspect was a SW problem, but I can find no evidence of SW changes around the time the problem appeared. Device Manager shows all of the recognized HID devices as working normally. Fortunately, I can still operate MP via either of two different RF keyboards (one using a USB dongle, the other using the built-in keyboard I/F of the HTPC case). In the absence of any better indication of where the fault may lie, I am toying with the following two possible courses of action: [LIST=1] [*]Install MP2. If it shows the same problem, then the cause is presumably at a deeper (e.g. system) level. [*]Reinstall the entire HTPC. Since I am still running Windows 7, whose support will soon end, I will have to do this soon anyway. [/LIST] Of course, I would be much happier to clearly identify the cause of the problem. Can anyone suggest any more precise diagnostic or troubleshooting procedures? [/QUOTE]
