[QUOTE="Slider, post: 28180, member: 12589"] Hi, I think there is no solution :cry: About 6 months ago, I tried the exact same thing you are doing. I used my server pc hardware (with Windows 2003 Server) for a Media Portal pc. I wanted to access the pc by Remote Desktop, without disturbing the people who are watching. Only Server versions of Windows can do that, but they can't use the MCE Remote. Even if you installed the drivers correctly (and I tried many things), Media Portal still won't use it. It seems Windows does see the remote, but Media Portal can't see/access it in those Windows versions. So I think it's a MP software problem, but none of the programmers gave me an answer if it even could work. So I gave up. I do have a Media pc now, by giving up my server hardware and just installed Windows XP sp2. Maybe now there are people who know what to do about this or even an MP programmer who knows an answer.
