How To: MCE Remote Keyboard in XP Home - Page 8

Spragleknas · 2007-10-11, 17:48

Since this thread has been linked to (by PD

) - here is an alternative:

This worked for me using XP-pro norwegian:
1. Install IR-server suite, found in first post here: http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/ir...on-t24849.html
2. You only need IR Server
3. Rightclick on tray -> setup -> configure MCE (...) -> Enable all tabs.

Good luck!

Resuming from S3 works fine here... this depends on motherboard amongst others.

Hi,

because of XP home i needed the fix of the OP.

But, it dont work with SP3. It just says, the fix is no longer needed.

So i did the procedre on SP2, then upgraded to SP3 and it still works.

I'm not sure how to post a proper "Thanks" as sloty32 did, so I'll just say it... Thanks!!!

I was finally able to purge Vista from our home.

My thanks to sloty32, also... I suspect his post saved me some pain, since I installed the MCE Rollup before installing SP3 for XP.
