[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1191097, member: 82144"] Thanks for the update Wayne. You've done well. (y) The only one you need to enable is the Microsoft MCE one. Please disable all the others (Custom HID, Direct Input and Windows Messages) and restart the IRSS service. Getting to the problem now... The IRSS MCE log file shows: [collapse] 2016-07-15 15:58:57.954320 - Device Capabilities: 2016-07-15 15:58:57.954320 - NumTxPorts: 0 2016-07-15 15:58:57.954320 - NumRxPorts: 2 2016-07-15 15:58:57.954320 - LearnPortMask: 2 2016-07-15 15:58:57.954320 - ReceivePort: 0 2016-07-15 15:58:57.954320 - LearnPort: 1 2016-07-15 15:58:57.954320 - DetailsFlags: 0[/collapse] Note the "NumTxPorts: 0".
