 |
|
I have used IR.exe in the past and am now setting up a new home theatre and of course I just had to build a new PC and run XP64. I am getting the strangest error.
Unable to initialize drivers for any JP1 device.
Parallel/Serial error
Problem with NT prot driver
Starttdriver: Unable to start service
THis driver has been blocked form loading. Please make sure you have Admin rights
I am logged on as the administrator. I might have to resurect my win98 machine to get my HT pro going.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks Jules |

You make it sound like you think updating DecodeIr has something to do with the "Privileged instruction". Maybe it does, but nothing you said makes that seem likely. I think it's still just IR.EXE
To be certain whether DecodeIr.dll is a factor, you can remove it entirely. IR.EXE can run just fine without it and just won't decode learned signals correctly.
I assume IR.EXE will still fail. I don't know anything one way or the other about IR.EXE compatibility with XP64, but it sounds like the driver used to remove printer port protection isn't working. |

|
|
Was there a solution to this? I am having the identical problem. Running Win Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Using IR version 7.11. When I try to set the parallel port HEX address to 3BC (device manager says LPT3) I get the privileged instruction error. When I tried to download from the remote or check interface I get the same error. I am trying to use a simple interface parallel cable. I purchased a parallel card to add to my new PC as it did not come with one on board.
I am logged on as an administrator and I have tried right clicking on ir.exe and selecting run as administrator with no luck.
Thanks for the help. |
