I was getting this problem after installing Windows 7 on my computer. I was already having the Media Center and IR device setup which was working fine on the Sony Vaio laptop that I am using. After that I fresh installed Windows 7 and then went to setup TV. So, after following the wizard to identify cable box and such, I started getting the above error message. When I checked in Device Manager then everything was shown working. Then I checked an article in which it was written, to solve this issue we need to have 2 IR blasters connected into the back of the IR transreceiver. So, I tried it and it worked fine. After this is done, then we can remove one and I also found out that you can plug the headphone hack in and it will do the same thing.
