Easiest Remote (1 Viewer)

"And if the keys don't do anything already then yes you can use something like IR Server Suite (IRSS) to program them do do something."

My Microsoft MCE remote arrived today and tried IR Server Suite and another plugin for remotes and nothing happens with any button on the remote.
I'm sure I must be missing something.
I'm a real newbie to all of this so I have a big learning curve to figure all of this out.
I have searched wiki files and the Support links and installed what I thought I needed but my remote still doesn't control anything.
The three plugins I have installed are keyboardinputplugin, IR Server Suite 1.4.2.and MCE Remote 2.2.4.4290.
With what I have installed so far should my remote be working properly ?
By looking at the the two plugins I have installed it looks like the configuration for all of the buttons are already configured for my MCE Remote.
Am I wrong in thinking that the plugins already have the configuration.
I think all I had to do was to click on the picture of the remote I have, and I saw all of the configuration.
Thanks for any advice you could provide.

Well I just figured out that I needed to select a setting which I had not none. I started off by configuring the volume up and down. I went to User Config files/Remote/Microsoft MCE/Mapping/Microsoft MCE remote/Volume+/All Layers/TV/Action "Volume Up" Condition Window, TV, Action, Volume Up/ Key ... but it will not let me enter a key into that field.
So my remote still does nothing.
Could someone help me with this ?

I am using a Kworld PC150-U HDTV Card, GeForce 9800GT Video Card, MCE RC6 Remote.

Thanks
