I managed to follow the instructions as far as enabling Irda in an elevated command prompt and got the "./done" response for both commands. I have a lot of updates to install but am quite prepared to reinstall to go back to ver 1511 to get this to work.

It so happened that I was having a lot of other problems relating to corruption of my installation of Windows (Ashampoo Burning studio was refusing to work properly and crashing) so decided to do a reinstall and follow the above article immediately afterwards. To cut a long story short I found this technical article which appeared to be the solution: Only recently I noticed that it had stopped working and so I started some research on the web to find the solution. I have an Infrared Remote originally designed to use with Windows 7 MCE.
