The IR software caused the most pain among software configurations. I pushed all the cables to the edges inside the case I just hope this doesn’t come back to bite me. There are just too many of them to connect and then to tuck away afterwards. The most painful parts of assembling the computer involved the cables.

Well, I thought the mediacenter and its remote controls were fully functional, but it wasn’t until later that I realized I couldn’t turn on/off the PC with the remote. Windows 7 MediaCenter is much, much better over Vista’s. In the end I disabled the service and added IRTrans USB shortcut to Startup folder.Īnd now my mediacenter is once again fully operational.

I chose to install IRTrans as a service, but that didn’t work. My workaround? Download it manually before running IRTrans setup. Unfortunately IRTrans setup.exe failed as it complained its inability to install Visual C++ Runtime 8 SP1 圆4. This version contained a 圆4 binary, which I realized might be the difference as my Vista was x86.

Adjusting IRTrans settings didn’t help.Īfter a bit of online research, I noticed that a much newer version (v09.10.09) of IRTrans software was available.


It didn’t work – my MCE keyboard and remote clicks would not register. Unlike with Vista, Windows 7 already installed the latest VFD driver, so my first attempt was to manually install the previous downloaded IRTrans software (v06.09.01).

Windows 7 圆4 installation was pretty sweet and smooth, but once again the VFD/IRTrans drivers cost me a few additional hours (refer to my Vista experience). I grabbed a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium intending to install it on my mediacenter this weekend, but since there was no good show to record tonight, I went ahead and installed it right away.
