cpeters Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I know this has been asked before but the previous solutions (unplugging for a day, running windows update) does not seem to be working for me. I can record a new button but when I click it the button is not sent. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Are you testing also outside of the Flirc GUI? Please try recording something simple like letter a and then open notepad, click on it so it is in focus and try pressing recorded button. It should write the letter a in the notepad. Have you tried plugging Flirc into different USB port? If not, can you try and let us know if this changes something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpeters Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Tried recording letter a, opening notepad, nothing.... I have also tried all 6 possible usb ports on my computer. Still the same thing. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Do you have an ability to test on another PC? If yes then just plug already programmed Flirc (with the letter A test for example) into it but don't install the Flirc software there. Do a test with a notepad.

cpeters Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 So that works. I can plug it into a different computer and it will send the letter A all day. Plug it back into the computer I programmed it with, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpeters Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 So does this mean that it is a driver issue on the computer that doesn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yes. It's a driver issue. I also had this on one of my computers before the Windows reinstall. For some reason Windows doesn't accept keyboard input from the Flirc even that it is correctly recognized as a USB HID keyboard. I haven't found a solution different than changing the USB port. In the end I had 2 or 3 USB ports of 8 total in my system which worked and the rest didn't. After reinstall everything works properly (I had to reinstall it anyway).
