Multimedia Station EZ receiver & remote problems.

[JustDave]

I just got this Multimedia Station EZ IR receiver & remote for my PC so I can brows iTunes while setting at my drum kit across the room. I hooked it into the USB port like stated, the computer said the drivers installed successfully and the receiver's red light even flashes when I push a button on the remote.

However, the only button that works on the remote seems to be enter. None of the arrow, volume or other buttons seem to work. The included software, iMon, doesn't even work... or even load. It just gives me an error box saying "???" and that's it. I have to use task manager to end the program afterwords.

My 360 MC remote seemed to have some effect on the IR receiver. The red light would flash when pressing a button. So I tried to fallow this tut' to see if I could get it to work but still no luck.

I have Windows 7 64-bit but before I purchased this item it said it was Windows 7 compatible.

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

do you use the version 7.85.0222? If not please download it here:

download.soundgraph.
com/file/setup/iMON_7_85_0222
.zip

(Sorry I am still not allowed to post links either ;D )

If that doesn't work you can try the beta here:

I hope the problem will be solved with one of the above versions, the software seems have some bugs with Win7 still unfortunately but the guys are working on them.

That did it. Thanks so much. I didn't even need the beta patch but thanks for that as well. It's a little clunky with iTunes plus the text is a little too small. May just have to use WMC (was hoping not to). Again, thanks.
