[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1281949, member: 141969"] RF keyboards are quite common ( I have one myself (y) ). But RF remote controls are relatively rare (the Emprex is one that comes to mind). You did not mention that your RF devices are keyboards. o_O So, is the situation now that you have solved the problem with the RF keyboards, but the MCE RC6 remote control still does not work (either via the built-into-the-motherboard IR receiver, or via the USB IR receiver)? Look in Windows "Device Manager" to see if you can identify the entries for the motherboard IR receiver or for the USB IR receiver. On my system there are multiple entries, so it is quite difficult to be sure which entry applies to which device. Unplug all non-essential HID devices before doing this (although you will need to retain one mouse so that you can navigate "Device Manager").

[*]If you can identify the USB IR receiver, what name is shown in "Device Manager" and what driver does it use? [/LIST] If the motherboard IR receiver and the USB IR receiver are both MCE RC6 IR receivers, they should both be described as a [b]Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver[/b]. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
