daemon crashes hauppauge remote (1 Viewer)

[mr_si]

I'm just getting going with Media Portal - it's all working seamlessly except I can't watch iso's (ie ripped DVDs)

So I found a thread, installed Deamon tools but I was finding that HCWHelper was crashing every start-up (something to do with the remote). I've removed daemon now and the remote is working again.

Is this a known issue?

What are the alternatives? I see you can run external players, ie VLC which does natively support iso. But if it breaks the media portal integration I'm not interested.

Here's some system specs (does MP dump this automatically somewhere?)

XP pro SP3 + all the updates
P4 2Ghz, 768 Mb ram
Nvidia 5700 Ultra + upto date drivers (dx9 compatible)
TV Card - Hauppauge HVR1100 with remote

does the remote work ok otherwise, i have a haup 500dt-dvbt and the remote software is broken by installing sp3 something to do with the onboard via usb chip, i ended up just using a sp2 install of xp, not ideal but better than throwing away my £60 tv card
