Strange error message

Hi all,
I picked up a USB-UIRT about a week ago (switching from a Smarthome PCIR Link) and love it, especially for the price! I use my UIRT in Homeseer to have it control my AV gear and also have it run events when it gets a certain IR signal. So far its worked absolutely great and no matter what I'm sticking with this thing.
To help make my events a bit more reliable (important when dealing with my wife) I've started trying to get some discrete IR codes for my TV (Zenith C36A26) so that I can turn it on/off or go directly to the different inputs instead of having to cycle through them and hope that Homeseer sees all the signals that are sent its way. One of my friends has a UIRT as well and told me that if I contact Jon he could send me a program to help convert Pronto codes into codes that Homeseer could use. I wrote him, he wrote back with the lrnhelper.exe. I unzipped it into my c:\windows\system32 folder where my uuirtdrv.dll (version 2.6.9.3) file is located. When I tried to run the lrnhelper.exe I got an error message stating "Unable to connect to USB-UIRT device! Please ensure device is connected to computer!" I know its plugged in because I can use Homeseer to send signals through it and I can also pick up other IR signals and trigger events with it so at least one other program can connect to it without any problems.
I don't really know how to procede from here so any advice you could pass along would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again,
Fireball

p.s. - If anyone has the codes that can be used in Homeseer for direct input access and power please let me know.

Rhett,

Any progress on this? Can you look at the date of your uuirtdrv.dll?

Hi Jon and everyone else,
I updated my driver off of your site and that took care of the problem.
Thanks for the help!
