Thank you for the excellent tip PJ. I (from US), built my reciever from parts at radio shack costing about $6 total. Here is the site: http://lnx.manoweb.com/lirc/ It works well but now you got me too excited. Connecting the serial to WOL pins makes sense. Wasn't thinking of this before. Thank you very much.

Good: nice ability to close and minimize in any application. Bad: poor range , not always responsive if i haven't pressed a button in...

Simple answer is you are reading a rather old thread. You dont go back to old ones so just go to latest 0107. Dont patch the newer one with this old version. Plus those listed drivers are old, the 90002 model card now has 1.3 drivers.

I have a gyration mouse and keyboard. These are wireless (radio) and have really good range (I have a large lounge and 50" Axium display) over 30 feet. The keyboard is small and the mouse can be used on the bench like a normal mouse or in the 'air' like a wand.

A big old warning here. It sucks. Playing back xvid files with advanced features (qpel. gmc etc) causes major artifacting and crashes. To get rid of this nuisance while keeping the pristine dvd codecs, simple open a command prompt window and do the following. cd \program files\intervideo\dvd6 regsvr32 /u mp4vdec.ax That...

Crash. 1. MPGAUDIO.AX is only needed if you want to use the generic DVD codecs to play back the AC3 stream in an AVI file. You have FFDShow installed and therefore this will handle it for you. 2. Post a detailed question in the General Support forum DMAN

Yes, that's the one. And if you want the CyberLink filter to be used, then you need to change the Merits to make the CyberLink one higher - I would suggest you try increasing the CyberLink to, say 0x41000000, rather than reducing the Mpeg2Dec Merit. Sorry, I don't know anything about Gabest.....maybe someone else can advise?
