ADS IR Blaster Drivers for Windows 7

[Rev1979]

The Story:
After I upgraded to Windows 7 (64) my ADS IR Blaster became a $25 paperweight (the drivers I downloaded from Kinamax wouldn't work).

I also had all kinds of problems with the Hauppauge IR blaster changing my STB (with very little help from Snapstream & Hauppauge).

The Solution:
Since three companies wouldn't provide adequate support, my frustration got the better of me and I fiddled around and succeeded in making my own drivers.

I'll share these drivers. Follow the Instructions below.

Instructions to get drivers:

1) click on my ID and select "Send a Private Message to Rev1979" (you'll have to register in this forum and make a post before you can send a PM).

2) Then send me a PM WITH YOUR EMAIL. I'll send you the drivers. (Note: I WILL NOT EVEN RESPOND TO THOSE WHO DON'T INCLUDE THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS IN THE PM.) FYI GMAIL doesn't allow zip files.

3) send me a money order for $100 ... not really, THERE'S NO CHARGE, just pay the generosity forward! (oh, a "thank you" would be nice)

Driver Versions:

05/19/2010 - 2.06.02

01/20/2011 - 2.08.08

05/11/2012 - 2.08.24

Rev, please, tell me how I can get your Win7-64 driver for the ADS IR Blaster USBX-707. Thanks, in advance.

Did you get a response?

Rev1979 is the man!!!! With his great drivers and generous advice, I now have my ADS IR Blaster up and going on my Win7-64 system. What a great guy to so generously share.

[Rev1979]

Larry,

Glad you got the UAC issue resolved! As I said, since I disable that from the get-go, this was never an issue for me with these drivers.

FWIW, Kinamax would never even respond to me about drivers for Win7-64, that's why I fiddled around and came up with these myself.

Would you ADS driver work with 32-bit Windows 7? If so or if you'd like me to try that out, would you please sent them my way? Many thanks.

Hi Rev :-) I was just wondering if I could get a copy of your IR Driver for windows 7 64bit? I am very interested in using this for my laptop for room control but it won't let me install it!

Thank you very much for your time!

Since SnapStream won't let me post a private message to you unless I've posted at least one message to a forum, this is my post: Does Microsoft believe that if we buy a box with Win7/64 that we must then be too stupid to control a settop box manually? Why don't they have an option to allow the set top box input come through even if they can't control it? Grrr. I bought an ADS IR Blaster, but now I need drivers. I'll ask Rev in a PM after I get this post published. *Sigh*
