I'm setting up my new MCE system, and during the MCE Wizard, I get to the

point where it's looking for the IR device.  Here the wizard attempts to

communicate with the IR control cable coming off of the Microsoft remote

control and receiver.  I get the message "IR Hardware Not Detected" eaver

time.  I've tried different IR cables, I've tried different locations on the

front of my set-top box, I have even tried using different USB ports on my PC

- no luck.



The remote control that came with the unit works fine, it just seems to be

having trouble locating the IR device.  When the wizard is testing the IR

cable, I actually see an LED flash once inside the end of the device (side

which is attached to the set-top box).



Any thoughts?

Im having the same problem, I bought new cable thinking maybe it was bad.  Still didnt fix it.  If you find the fix let me know to.

Someone yesterday mentioned that something had turned off their USB ports in

the BIOS, so check there and make sure they're all enabled. There may be an

option to support "legacy USB equipment" - you might try toggling that too.
