I'm afraid I gave up trying to get mine to work.

Lucky for me though, I could use the redremote serial device (kind of a 
standalone blaster that only requires one program to run, no configs and 
doesn't interfere with my already working lirc remote control).

Sorry I couldn't offer any advice, but at least you know you're not alone!

Good luck...

Garry.
