remote control stopped working

[dikdunn]

Hi, I had my infra red remote for WMC unplugged from the usb port as I needed
the port temporarily for another device, during this time I had a couple of
updates downloaded and installed. When I plugged the remote back in I found
it would no longer work. I checked in the device manager for microsoft eHome
infrared Transceiver Device, or something similar, but it does not appear. I
have tried unplugging it, switching off computer, restarting and plugging it
back in to see if "found new hardware" kicks in, but nothing. I can use the
TV tuner by changing channel with the mouse, but it's a pain. Any one have
any suggestions? Thanks.
