[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1183227, member: 141969"] Interesting... it had not occurred to me that IRSS might solve the IR receiver malfunction too. My custom is to exit MP before sleeping or hibernating the system. When the system wakes, MP is not running, and the IR receiver malfunction occurs at the Windows desktop (before MP is involved). If IRSS is running as a service, that [i]would[/i] be active on wake. I guess the only way to see if IRSS does solve this problem is to try it for a few weeks. The IR receiver is a tiny "box" (37mm x 20mm x 11mm) made from red translucent plastic. It is the small end of the box (20mm x 11mm) that faces the room and contains the receiver and LED. The box is also glued shut, so not possible to gain access to the internals without breaking it. The bright red LED is offputting initially, but after a while one ceases to notice it. :D -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
