Kinect infra image not showing - why?

I have installed openni2.2, nite2.2 and kinect SDK 1.6 along with Simpleopenni library for processing. Everything working fine except infrared image - it is simply not there. That is really strange since at the same time I can clearly see the depth image (and depthimage logically need the infra camera and projector working to run). So I assume there is a problem with drivers or software? I would like to use kinect as infrared camera. Please help, below I attach my test code:

import SimpleOpenNI.*;


SimpleOpenNI  context;

void setup()
{
  context = new SimpleOpenNI(this);

  // enable depthMap generation 
  if(context.enableDepth() == false)
  {
     println("Can't open the depthMap, maybe the camera is not connected!"); 
     exit();
     return;
  }

  // enable ir generation
  if(context.enableIR() == false)
  {
     println("Can't open the depthMap, maybe the camera is not connected!"); 
     exit();
     return;
  }

  background(200,0,0);
  size(context.depthWidth() + context.irWidth() + 10, context.depthHeight()); 
}

void draw()
{
  // update the cam
  context.update();

  // draw depthImageMap
  image(context.depthImage(),0,0);

  // draw irImageMap
  image(context.irImage(),context.depthWidth() + 10,0);
}

This does the job:

context.enableIR(1,1,1);
