Girder Freezes

[Cofi]

I use Girder 3.0xxx something and with that i use Igor plug-in and an winlirc plug-in. But the problem is that girder freezes all the time in the beginning it happened when i enabled the ir-receiver from girder but now when i start. What am I doing wrong?

[Cofi]

When i click on enable input devices my computer freezes, i have tested with 2 different versions of girder.

Would you please try this?

Turn off all of the plugins (uncheck them in each of the Hardware and Action windows)
Turn them on one at a time and see which one is causing the problem.

Are the WinLirc and Igor plugin set to different COM ports?

[Cofi]

Yes, because it said that Igor used wrong com-port, and tested them all and it worked with COM3, in winlirc i couldn't find a setting for the COM-port. The IR-Receiver is in COM1.

(don't worry that you didn't see it, I added this one just now)

Do you have BOTH plugins loaded at the same time? Do you only have a single IR-Receiver?

If the answer to both of these questions is yes then you need to use only one of the plugins at a time.

lol. k. I used both at the same time. I dunt know what to use the plug-ins for, i was told to use Igor and the winlircplug-in. The ir-receiver works good on winlirc so it's nothing wrong with the receiver.

Here's the results:
With Igor and Winlirc plug-ins: Freeze
Only with Igor plug-In: Freeze
Only with WinLirc: OK

Thanks for your help. What is Igor used for? Do I really need it? I just wanna open and close winamp and some other small things.

One of the primary functions of plugins is to get hardware events (remote control button presses and other things) into Girder. Once the event is in Girder, it can be used to trigger other stuff (like causing WinAmp to play a song or whatever).

The Igor and WinLirc plugins are used for some IR receivers. If the WinLirc plugin works with your IR receiver, you do not need the Igor plugin. :)
