This is the best thread to post this question, I guess, so here it goes:

I got a Logitech Harmony 900 remote a few years ago, and then put it in storage for a couple years when I got deployed with the military. Now I have a new laptop and a couple new components to my AV setup, so I tried to install the Harmony software and reconfigure my setup.

Now, however, I can't get the remote to recognize the USB connection. I can't progress with the software setup until it recognizes the remote, and I'm stuck because the remote doesn't even show up in device manager. I have a new mini-USB cable on the way from Amazon, just in case that's the issue. It should be here on Friday.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what else the problem could be, or how to solve my issue?

The harmony drivers are a complete crapshoot and work or don't work according to the alignment of the stars and planets. If you're using the standalone drivers I'd try using the myharmony site to manage your remote, the drivers it installs to connect to the remote seem to get a lot more development and have fewer problems for me at least. YMMV though, I don't have a 900 and every goddamn one of these remotes seems to be finicky about drivers in a slightly different way.
