[QUOTE="sandman65, post: 419196, member: 91581"] I found a solution for the Hauppauge MC remote kit that is detected as an ehome infrared transceiver so the problem appears to be xp home, it installs fine under xp pro, to get it to work under xp home do the following: Download the Windows Update "Update Rollup 2 for eHome Infrared Receiver for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (KB912024)" from microsoft. It is available at [url]http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en[/url]. Run the downloaded executable. When the Hotfix install wizard appears on the screen it will tell you that you have sp3 already installed etc etc do not close the window. Run notepad, and open the file named kb912024.log that is located in your windows system directory (usually c:\windows\). On the fourth line of this file you will find the path to the update executable (ie: c:\0d5602f37f532d2198a162164df6\update\update.exe). Open Windows and navigate to (ie: c:\0d5602f37f532d2198a162164df6). inside you will find a number of folders and files, from the "SP2QFE" folder, copy irbus.sys and from the "ip" folder copy irbus.inf . once you copied these two files to a safe location go back to the Hotfix install wizard and select CANCEL. now plugin your receiver and when asked for the driver point it to the place where you saved the two files, enjoy!
