- EHome Infrared Receiver: OS installed driver. For information only. Free Microsoft Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/2003/NT 4 Version 5.1.2600.2893 Full Specs. Microsoft Ehome Infrared Transceiver.
- Microsoft IrDA (Infrared) Driver Connect to peripheral devices or Windows 95 PCs without using connecting cables.
- The driver for this is 'eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR)' as it's listed in the Device Manager under the USB devices. After it is installed there is a green light on the receiver and everything works fine, the remote (came with the receiver) works fine as well.
- I checked that same driver exists in Windows 2008 but its not being recognized and installed. Driver is USBCIR.SYS it exists in both x86 & x64 versions of Windows 2008. My guess is that it is disabled by default, I managed to enable it using registry but still hardware is not recognized. (usbcir in HKLM System CurrentControlSet Services).

I'm an unlucky owner of and Acer 7720G laptop which, like many in its category, has receiver for a proprietary infrared remote control device (which I did not receive with my laptop!) .
Now my problem is that the receiver is detected as Microsoft eHome MCIR Keyboard, Microsoft eHome MCIR 109 Keyboard and Microsoft eHome Remote Control Keyboard keys.
My problem is that this driver has incompatibilities with some programs I use like for example DosBox. When these devices are installed, they cause DosBox to incorrectly detect some keyboard buttons. The workaround is to remove or disable the 3 hardware devices. Unfortunately, I the disable option is grayed out and when I delete them, they are reinstalled on next restart. Is there any way to hack windows in order to prevent their installation? I was thinking about locating the drivers these devices use, but they are buried somewhere in windows installation and I don't have enough experience to find them, so I'm asking you for help.
EDIT: Using 64 bit version of windows.

I had a similar issue and kludge fixed it the following way:
- Copy the correct version of DevCon into windows directory (optional)
- Create a batch file containing the following: devcon remove circlassirdevicev2
- Copy the batch file to your startup folder - you may need to right-click the actual devcon file and set compatability mode to always run as administrator
*the above could be a security risk - if in doubt, copy devcon and the batch file to a folder not in the path

Have you tried looking in the BIOS settings for a switch to disable the hardware? If you can disable it, then you should be able to remove the device drivers permanently.

Guys from notebookreview.com forums recommended that I try with system->advanced system settings->hardware->device installation settings and disable downloading drivers from windows update. Unfortunately, this does not help me. Also it may be significant that there is no new hardware detected dialog. Drivers are already installed once system starts.

I believe I found an answer. Instead of trying to keep it uninstalled I decided replace the driver.
WARNING: This will disable your Remote Control!
- COPY don't move, just COPY 'C:windowssystem32driverskbdclass.sys' to your desktop
- Rename the 'kbdclass.sys' on your desktop to 'kbdhid.sys'
- take control and delete(i always back things up into a different folder) 'C:windowssystem32driverskbdhid.sys'
- Move the 'kbdhid.sys' from your desktop to 'C:windowssystem32drivers'
- Now when you restart it installs the basic keyboard drivers into you HID keyboard divers. so the drivers will still show in your device manager, but will work as the stander driver. (PS. if you have a remote control for your PC, doing this will probably make it never work.)
