Hi,

I'm struggling to get my Windows Media Center remote working on my HTPC, a Windows 2008 server x64 edition. The OS detects the insert of the device but can't find any drivers. Then I manually selected the eHome receiver driver from the Hardware installation wizard (win2008 has the driver buildin) and the installation succeeded. Device manager shows me the device and does not indicate any problems.

However, no key strokes are logged. I see the indicator blinking on the receiver when I press a button on the remote, but nothing happens as well in MediaPortal as in Windows.

any ideas how to get this fixed?

Thanks a lot!

update:

I compared to my vista business machine and here it installs a lot more devices in HID devices and also a USB device, while in 2008 it does not. I tried copying the drivers from my vista machine to 2008 but no luck at all.. (both 64 bit)
