MCE remote with MP and XP Home ed. (1 Viewer)

[butterflies]

Hello,
I know that the MCE remote with receiver is highly recommended for Mediaportal. BUT I have read somewhere that it won't work with Windows XP Home. I just can't remember where I saw this. Did/does somebody combine those: the remote and XP Home? Does it work?
Thanks

It works very good.

I am using MCE in Win XP and I do not have any problem.

OK, thanks, but is that XP Home edition?

I am ussing XP Media Center Edition, but I do not think that should be any problem in any XP Version

Since this post is rather late in above mentioned thread:

Since this thread has been linked to (by PD ) - here is an alternative:

This worked for me using XP-pro norwegian:
1. Install IR-server suite, found in first post here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/ir_server_suite_public_test_version-t24849.html
2. You only need IR Server
3. Rightclick on tray -> setup -> configure MCE (...) -> Enable all tabs.

Good luck!

Remark: Yes - pro. But I think I remember that people got it to work this way with home. Please consider giving feedback weather it does or not.
