dude,

Ok I have realised that you are running a mac, so here is some advice that I give to my clients who want to do strange stuff with Mac hardware.

Firstly, you are running a machine designed to run OSX 10.X not windows. So BIOS compatibility is 100% in Windows favour. I have seen issues with Mac hardware running Windows based applications that access hardware. But run fine on a true Wintel environment. Sorry to say that but I have seen it a few times.

UPDATE the BIOS, find the lastest BIOS from Apple and install it. It may help. In fact in a windows world a BIOS update can resolve some very strange faults.

Did you install the lastest MS drivers for this remote or using the the replacement driver?

Other then that, does the hardware work on other hardware? It may help to test this on a working PC to see that it is not a hardware fault.
