need IR help, can't get things to work with Vista VMC
I am very familiar with xp MCE / IR / home automation, etc.

here's the prob-
I have an MCE v1 receiver / remote and vista ultimate 32. The receiver and remote actually work fine to control all of the VMC functions, it was plug-n-play. I copied my media center remote commands to my MX850 remote. All works except the up/dn/l/r keys. it stops advancing after one press, as it seems the mce remote does some sort of code shifting?

I deleted the codesetnum0-3 keys in the reg, stopped ehtray, rebooted
Installed HIP, left the default ehome driver alone, loaded the HIPMCE plugin, chose MCE as the input device- It will not see my remote

Then installed your MCE replacement driver, chose the first device listed. Still no love from HIP
Then installed the driver that came with HIP, still no love

What should I specifically do to get the IR input working with my MX850?
