Although not particularly relevant for quite some time to come... under Vista the pointing device is 100 times nicer to use than under XP, would be very nice if they did to the XP drivers whatever they have done to the Vista builds but thats not likely to happen :/.

Is it smoother to use? I think it's the jerkiness that really gets people.

I am one of those that find the pointer difficult to get along with and as such use it only when absolutely necessary. I explored the majority of Vista using it with ease so yeah greatly improved in all respects.

No promises - just trying to think what else to try!

I tried it and it worked, I am typing this from my MS Remote keyboard.

I just downloaded "WindowsXP-KB912024-v2-x86-ENU.exe" from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
and installed it and now it is working.

A friend of mine also tryed to get it to work with a swedish wersion of WinXP pro but as the roll up is not available, he had no luck with that.

So does anyone know if there is somekind of workaround or should we just change XP or wait for the correct roll up?

I have downloaded the rollup file and installed it. uninstalled the ehome device and reboot. now when I plug in the ehome reciver it cant find any drivers? where did the rollup install the new drivers so I can point it out?
please help, before I break my remote in two pieces in frustration...
