^nox Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Hey Guys So I finally made the move over to Windows 7 and also omy first time since XP x64 using a x64 based system. Everything looks alright untill i looked through my device manager, and I was left with one device after all those update that just would not update. Ive done alot of research and i know 100% its related to my hp HID mini remote control which obviously isn't working. I tried downloading hp updates "Quick Launch Updates" for i beleive 6 different notebook types. But when i try to unzip the file it tells me its currupted "i mean all 6 file versions" ??? So that didnt work, I tried windows update but nothing. Is there anyone who could package me the windows HID remote control driver so i could try installing it manually ? Thank alot !!! Here is some pics of my missing hardware : Edited August 10, 2009 by ^nox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Humpsalot Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 the driver you're looking for is the ENE CIR driver that can be found here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41501-42000/sp41659.exe This solved my problem. If this doesn't work I can send you another version of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey SirHumpsalot :) thansk for the promt reply, anyway i did test thsi verison of the driver i had my hopes up big time, it installed said the device is ready to use, but i tried the remote adn still nothing. So i checked device manager and saw that nothing has changed. I figured maybe i need to reboot, but nothing. Then i also tried isntalling the device manually searching for the driver, when i did i would either get "Device cant start as it cant load some componenets of the driver" or "Device cannot start" :P Do you have any other ideas ? :) Thanks again for all your help !

Sir_Humpsalot Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 try installing this driver: http://www.fileqube.com/file/VhwVvSdSD208635 in comptablity mode (vista sp1), but before you install it install the latest Chipset Software Installation Utility for your laptop. If you still have your swsetup folder you can try installing the original driver from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant believe that haha, that was the last thing i checked i just randomly bought another one today just to test it.
