Am I missing something but........

I've been using an older version of Girder (3.3.10) with an MCE Remote & the replacement driver in Windows XP. However, I find the key repeat rate and key repeat delay very slow and there does not appear to be a way to change them (unless you know otherwise?). So I was keen to read above that you say the replacement driver is no longer needed, particularly as the original eHome driver has a very fast key repeat rate and fast key repeat delay.

However! I've followed exactly both of your methods given above to use the original eHome driver instead of the replacement, and unfortunately I cannot get either of them to work with Girder. Girder does not register any key press when using the original Girder MCE Plugin*. The newer method of deleting the specific HID entries in the registry does get a response when using the Girder HID Plugin, but this produces strange key responses making it unusable (maybe something to do with Girder), and of course it does not function like the replacement driver which is able to work with other remotes other than the MCE handset. So what's going wrong? Is it the old version of Girder I'm using? (I've not upgraded the version as what I have does everything I need, apart from the slow key repeat rate.)

I've also noticed that in the source folder that is in your zip file, there is a text file which gives the version history, and the last version that is listed is version '0.20', yet the latest version that installs from the zip file is version '0.19'. What's happened to version 0.20? It states that version 0.20 adds 'speed settings', are these key repeat rate settings?

* In your zip file and with previous versions of the replacement driver that you've produced, you provide the file MceIr.dll. Are these files updated versions of the original Girder MCE Plugin that Bruno Fleurette produced. I tried all of these 'versions' of this file to see if they would work in Girder but none of them were recognised by Girder. Only the original version that Bruno produced is recognised by Girder. Am I barking up the wrong tree here, or are these files supposed to work?
