If not interested in the logic skip the Resolution section for the short answer.īefore an edit can be made to the irbus.inf, generally located in the Windows\inf folder, we need to determine what should be added. In the case of Windows XP, it is the irbus.inf.Īlthough there is sufficient documentation in the many blogs and forums that support the appropriate changes to the INF, it might be interesting to know how those IDs were determined. For Windows to detect the driver, the device IDs and hardware IDs need to be added to the appropriate INF. The device driver does work for the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition with Rollup 2 The problem is the USB vendor and product IDs (VID/PID) are not provided in the INF files provided by Microsoft, therefore although Windows will detect the device it will not find the driver for it. It is because of that, HP did not have to supply their own driver. The device driver is supplied by Microsoft and included with the Windows MCE, XP, and Vista operating systems. The Hewlett Packard TSGI-IR01 is the OEM version of the USB Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver.
