Irtoy does not work on Win7

January 04, 2015, 12:09:15 pm

When I try to connect Irtoy to pc, Windows load its own drivers. But Irscrutinizer does not recognize Irtoy. When loading to Windows Xp pc, I successed to load a com port 4 after canceling the windows drivers and installing inf.driver of Irtoy.But after restarting the pc Irscrutinizer does not see com port 4 again and Irtoy does not operate. How can I install Irtoy in a stable way?

When I reinstalled my Win7, I had to reinstall the driver for IrToy: In the device manager, press update driver, and direct it to an unpacked version of the IrToy software package. Then it was recognized.

Another tip is to watch out for Bluetooth serial ports, they may delay e.g. the startup time of IrScrutinizer with 10 seconds or more, and clutter the device manager. Just throw them out with the device manager, unless you are sure you want them.

Hope this helps and that you enjoy the 'Scrutinizer!
