Dell MCE RC6 Remote (2 Viewers)

[desnake]

Vell porky and Ray i tested it with MP on my windows 7 workstation and it worked like a charm out of the box

A little sad tho as i prefer Windows XP and my MediaCenter is running it and i got a pretty good build with it. totaly clean codes defragmentet hardrives etc.

Well the only question to this issue seems to be Windows 7 it seems.

NOW i hope my hardware can find drivers for Windows 7 as i am not sure of that

Thanks for all your time and help.

EDIT: or maybe just maybe it would help to install the newest MP (because the driver CD that followed contains drivers for XP hmm. i dont know, just a little desperate here

Thanks for the feedback on this, interesting that ehome only shows up in HID, and not in the usb controller screen, because M$ MCE remote definitely does show up on xp pro, mine did, so it looks like the hardware id has been added to be in the ehome driver inf in Windows 7, so it does install correctly there.

hehe well i hope i can help others with simelar problems with my misery here

btw would it be possible to make a edited inf for XP Pro 32 bit that adds this remote as it does in windows 7?
With a intstaller that just updates the inf file.

Would be awesome, i am more then novice in computing but this is not my field.

Anybody can edit the ehome infrared transceiver list.xml, which can be found at "user files" shortcut either from config or windows START menu.

Because thats all I was going to do

To do the irbus.inf used to install as ehome, then look at this tutorial eHome Infrared Receiver not recognized by Windows XP at it.megocollector.com

just a little confused.

shall i plug my device in the windows 7 pc as that one installs it like it shall be. then find the hardware ID. THEN add this ID to the file in xp?

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

Yep, hardware id will be the same.
