I have installed the hunter ceiling fan it had a white wire a black wire and a black wire with white stripe. i have a two wire wall switch which will not allow me to operate the fan without the light being on. any solutions?
There should be a pull chain somewhere that you can turn off the light with. There is no way except a remote unit that a 2 wire switch can control 2 different functions(fan & light)

is the fan working correctly, if it is not it could be a bad armature or field

If your house has only a black and white wire, than you need to tie the black, balack and white striped wire to the black of the hous. You than have to use the pull chains on the fan when the switch is on, to turn the fan or the fan light on or off. If youre house had a red wire than that would be tied in with the black and white striped wire and you would have two swithes on the wall to control the fan and light instead of having to use the pull chains.

People find all kinds of creative ways to wire things. White wires are always supposed to be neutrals and therefore should always go with other white wires, and colored wires should always be hot and should always go with other colored wires. If you have a voltage tester you could test to see if in fact the blue wire is actually the hot and the white is actually the neutral. (test each wire to a ground). If the previous fan was wired backwards, it would not affect the operation of the fan or lights at all. But you'd probably want to make sure the new fan was wired properly. In that case connect the white from the fan to the neutral and the black and black/white to the hot.

Obviously you have 2 (two) hunter fans with remote, so one of the fan needs to have frequency changed : on the base fan you will find (white rectangular )receiver that has 8 (eight small) switches, the same switches you would find in the remote control, slide 1 switch up ( on the remote and the receiver). Make sure same number ok (these 8 switches has #'s 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) then reinstal your fan back the way it was. you'll be fine. good luck

kjob, if you haven't figured you fan problem out yet, the must be set to the highest setting through the pull chain for it work correctly with the remote.
