  1. Y'all can mark this thread as resolved. The driver doesn't work on Windows 8.1 yet. Jason's acknowledged the shortcoming and is working on it.

    Plugging the Flirc device into another machine -- or a virtual machine (perhaps even Windows Virtual PC thru XP mode) using USB passthrough on a more compatible operating system will allow users to program the device. Once the settings have been written to memory, the device will work fine on Windows 8.1 -- you just won't be able to set anything without repeating the process.

    This also works for setting interkey delay, contrary to what I was saying earlier. After trying it I had no issues.

  2. If you put it in Windows 8 compatibility mode and enable administrative mode the GUI does now run (it doesn;t crash when upgrading firmware, and will now connect to the FLIRC).  The flirc_util still complains it can't open USB device though.

    It registers that there is a multikey delay (6) as opposed to giving me a blank screen as before, but it doesn't acknowledge my changes.

    When trying to register changes, the program crashes.

    Any other ideas?
  4. Hi;

    On Windows 8.1, I cannot update interkey delay using flirc_util or the GUI. Luckily I programmed everything I needed before I upgraded but now I have sticky keys and it's a nightmare.

    Running flirc_util thru an administrator command prompt I receive:

     

    C:\Program Files (x86)\flirc>flirc_util.exe interkey_delay 4
    Warning: cannot open USB deviceusb transfer failed, error code[-99]
    Other error
    usb transfer failed, error code[-99]
    Other error
    usb transfer failed, error code[-99]
    Other error
    failed to update settings
     
    Using the GUI makes no difference; no settings are sticking.
    Latest firmware (v1.0.0-rc.2)
    Have updated to latest WinUSB drivers using ZADIG utility
     
    Please assist
