[QUOTE="jhb, post: 182472, member: 24959"] I just want to add to this discussion that there might still be problems if you have an OEM-manufactured MCE remote or keyboard (in my case an OEM-remote from HP). I have no MCE and can not use the latest pack since it is not available in swedish). I finally (after a lot of testing) managed to solve this issue also. I edited the irbus.inf files that I downloaded form the MediaPortal sites link and copied a row in the MicrodsoftHW section and chanched the VID (Vendor ID) and PID (Product ID) to the ones found in the Device Manager (under properties->details->"Device Instance ID") for the not installed HW (the one with the yellow exclamation mark - "!"). After this I upgraded the driver and pointed on my edited inf-file and it worked. The reason it works is that the MCE remotes and keyboards have the same HW specification, but are produced under by different vendors under different names. Therefor Microsoft need to add all these identities to their installation and if they are not in the inf-file of an available driver kit (in my case it wasn't due to language incompatabilities) it can neither be identified nor installed...
