So yeah, NEITHER computer, after a reboot, different USB port, and clean reinstall each, simply refuse to work. Hell, if it were my laptop I'd just mail you the thing; it's almost ten years old.

Question. I MIGHT have a friend who can donate a really, really old laptop that barely runs xp for this. Will I be able to run things from that? Got the laptop, got both the 0.96 and 1.3.0 versions installed on it. The .96 sees the device as connected and the firmware as v2.3 but has no force update mode. The 1.3.0 does NOT see the device, says it wants to update firmware, and promptly locks up indefinitely again.

It does not ask me about upgrading. If I try to force, the progress bar gets to approximately 1/3 and stops, locking the program indefinitely. I don't have a spare pc lying around though.

The GUI is 1.3.0 and the firmware is v-16.-1(cut off) I THINK it's 16-16 but I'm not sure.

So yeah, the title. I got one off amazon for use with OpenELEC- it arrived a day or two ago, so I sit down to program it on my pc. (Win764.) and that's as far as I've gotten. NO remote used will recognize. In an attempt to figure that out I decided to force a firmware update. At best it'll get to 1/3 progress bar, lock, and sit there in definitely. Help? (Additional info; the program can detect when I've plugged in the FLIRC device, but not when I've removed it. Odd.)
