` is broken by infrared drivers How disable

fex905

<div class="IPBDescription">Stupid windows screws with the console in video games</div>Anyone know how i can disable the infrared drivers on windows 7. There are no options to disable and if I uninstall the drivers windows just keeps on reinstalling them. I've seen that you can do it by disabling plug and play(or what ever its exactly called) but I tried that and I could not use new flash drives and such. If anyone knows a real fix it would be much appreciated.
