ehome infrared receiver needs further installation

I really would like to use the power on/off feature as it enables me to start MediaCenter from a complete OFF status. Any idea when you will have a proper working driver with a usable install routine? And if I check on Goolge (ftd2xx.dll and IRTrans), I get tons of forum entries of people with the same problem. It does not work during standard installation of IR Trans and not manually by updating in device manager. It looks like the 64-bit Installation of the USB Driver is a mess. However, after rebooting, Vista does not start anymore and I have to select 'last known good configuration). But the IRTrans USB device is now listed in device manager and it says that the device is working properly. to installl and came finally back with an error message (problem during install, timeout etc.). It recognized the IRTrans USB Device but says clearly that it is not recommended to use this device as it is not signed!!! Hmmm? OK, forget all the security settings and take this driver. You should be able to setup a script with DevCon to uninstall the drivers. I need to select a driver manually from disk and I simply selected the IRTrans drivers folder (where IRTrans has been installed). Well you need to run as Admin to modify the system configuration so on that you may be stuck. I tried manually to force Vista to change the driver in device manager to IRTrans USB. Vista recognized and installed automatically a 'eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR)' and it is not possible to update this driver to another (like IR Trans etc.). I have read in some forums, that it is necessary to install the correct USB driver, but I don't know how. I deinstalled the software and tried it with the actual release of the iRTrans Homepage (Version 5.10.09) with the same negative result

IR Trans then exits and it is not possible to start IR Trans without getting the error message (after which IT Trans aborts).

When installing IR Trans, I always get the error message: cannot load ftd2xx.dll

I run Vista 64-bit and the remote control does work well within Vista without installing IR Trans except the power on/off button. I downloaded the IR Trans software from the S21T download folder (Version 08.01.02) of the OrigenAE Homepage. It can be good policy to install infrared. the longer the distance between transmitter and receiver, the further off a misaligned beam will be when it arrives at the receiver. I own a OrigenAE S21T MediaPC with integrated iRTrans module. Obviously with a detector zone or detection zone of 300 meters you need to be careful of sources of attenuation that may include rain, fog, snow, dust storms.
