Hello,

I am wondering if the Trust Wireless Vista Remote Control RC-2400 works with MP on windows xp.

Everywhere i looked the say the remote works on Vista only.There seem to be no XP drivers available.

Searching the forum didnt bring an answer.

Can somebody help me? The remote is rather cheap so i want to buy it

Thnx
Jan.

Hi.
No the remote doesnt work in XP. Only Vista!
When you try to install it on XP it will say "found device snowflakeemulation". Ive heard about drivers that microsoft has on their supportpage. But i searched and found nothing.

The remote works with some operation.
Successfully tested in win xp home.
Downloads this windows fix:
Update Rollup 2 for eHome Infrared Receiver for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
it contains the necessary drivers.
Launch the exe but not complete the install.
The fix auto extract the files in c:\92834o584 or similar direcotry.
Copy the folder from c:\ to your desktop (if necessary unlock files with unlocker: UNLOCKER 1.8.7 BY CEDRICK 'NITCH' COLLOMB)
Now install the driver manually for "snowflakeemulation", search it in "Desktop\92834o584\SP2QFE\ip.
From dirver list select "microsoft" vendor and search "eHome infrared reciver"
install it.
Now, for correct working download the freeware HIP : ByRemote - What is HIP?
Install It, and configure them using MCE remote (you have to select and install the plugin when prompted in 'installation, default is set girder)

Now your Remote is working.

hi everybody, if i sincerily the main reason for registering in this forum it´s for this topic,
i bought this remote control (trust vista control rc 2400) and i always use xp profesional xp3, the solution to work aparently it´s easy but i have a big big problem, when i try to install the update i cannot, the reason it´s because my xp pro is spanish and the update is not available for my language, thats why the update suddenly stop and close when i try to install and it´s impossible to extract the differents files...

i would be very grateful if somebody can upload the differents files for installing my remote control.

thxs a lot...
