Hi Guys,

Don't wanna sound stupid here, looked everywhere for a thread regarding an issue with IR.exe not being able to read from the parallel port in Windows XP. I remember vaguely.....(last time I visited on of the jp1 sites is mor ethan a year ago)

Here's my problem:
Just bought me a brand new PC and installed XP on it. Now, all of a sudden, IR.exe seems unable to read from my remote.

Any suggestions?

Please advise.

Thx,

Oops!

Forgot to enable the parallel port in the BIOS of my new PC.....

Problem solved!
