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.)

Sorry mate, I really can't offer any advise in regards to Girder. I don't use girder. The only thing I can suggest is to use the mce replacement driver plugin for girder but with the modified registry settings with the default driver. If you haven't already tried that.

You could try my IR Server Suite, it will let you control repeat rates properly. But if you're already set up and running with Girder then you probably don't want to change....

What's happened to version 0.20? It states that version 0.20 adds 'speed settings', are these key repeat rate settings?

Sorry, that's a typo, it should be 0.19 not 0.20. The speed settings are in and refer to blasting IR commands, it's for setting the IR Carrier frequency but not key repeat rate settings.

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?

The compiled dll (MceIr.dll) is a copy of bruno's that I modified for use in my MediaPortal work. It doesn't have the Girder plugin functions in it... they could be added back in very easily but I didn't include them because of some of the changes I made. There would be no benefit to Girder users in using my modified version even if it did include the Girder functions, so don't worry ... you're not missing out on anything.

Damn, that's to bad. Guess I'll have to find a other way then.

The replacement driver does not work on any x64 systems.
