[QUOTE="sandman65, post: 417053, member: 91581"] I tried finding a solution on the forum but all I found was people having similar issues so here it goes I'm running MediaPortal on an old amd 2400XP on windows xp Home I have a Hauppauge PVR-150 with the non MCE remote and IR blaster Nvidia AGP GeForce 6200 128mb ram I installed everything as per the guides that I found on the site, installed all updates, used the latest driver version for all my hardware, and I installed MediaPortal 1.01 Everything was perfect and ran fine for about 4 days then 3 days ago on startup my remote was not working, when I exit the MediaPortal interface I get the following error "there was an error with HcwHelper the application will be closed" if I click on details this is what I get: EventType : clr20r3 P1 : hcwhelper.exe P2 : 1.0.1.40055 P3 : 49dfb6df P4 : hcwhelper P5 : 1.0.1.40055 P6 : 49dfb6df P7 : 2 P8 : 2a P9 : system.nullreferenceexception I also noted that I get and .NET Runtime 2.0 Error in my application log in event viewer that contains: Source .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Event ID 5000 EventType clr20r3, P1 hcwhelper.exe, P2 1.0.1.40055, P3 49dfb6df, P4 hcwhelper, P5 1.0.1.40055, P6 49dfb6df, P7 2, P8 2a, P9 system.nullreferenceexception, P10 NIL. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the IR32 application from the Hauppauge driver disk but there was no improvement so after two days trying to find a solution, I got fed up and bought what I thought was a fully compatibe Hauppauge MC remote controll kit (model 226), from their website: Easy installation under Windows Vista Premium and Ultimate or Windows XP Media Center Edition! According to their website and posts from this forum it would work perfectly with windows xp and needed no drivers :(. I should have read the small print on the box that states under system requrements: Microsoft Media Center Compatible PC with Microsoft Windows Vista Mediacenter Installed :wtf: I tried all the drivers I could find on the internet for the MC remote kit, that gets detected as a eHome Infrared Transceiver, but obviously this must be a new version that has no windows xp compatible drivers(JUST MY LUCK!) so if anybody out there has a solution to get at least one remote working I will be eternally grateful!
