[QUOTE="NickName, post: 127149, member: 21675"] I think you may have a faulty remote? I have 4 MCE remotes and they have all worked just by plugging them in and ticking the box in Mediaportal setup labelled "use MCE remote". I have used them for over a year on multiple versions of Mediaportal and in MCE, XP Pro & XP Home. They don't support mouse movements but support just about everything else. I don't love Microsoft but I highly recommend their remotes! :-) They even withstand my kids (ab)use! You didn't install any third party drivers for your remote did you? I ask as MCE and XP Pro support it 'out of the box'. You do need drivers for XP home but it's only two files and easy to install. I can supply them if you need them? I'd just use Mediaportal's built-in driver until you are sure it works 100%. Then you can experiment with the newer plugin driver. Good luck. Regards, Nick Name. [/QUOTE]
