[QUOTE="Brocklander, post: 28679, member: 10390"] Okay I'll spare you the dramas this time - here's how I got it to work in XP Home (about 5 minutes ago!) I installed the origional drivers that everyone seems to have, this lets you use the Remote and remote buttons on the Keyboard. Then I downloaded the Rollup Update and told it to install. The setup creates a temporary folder with the drivers and install files within it, I copied the 'ip' folder to my desktop and continued with the install and reinstall of new drivers, just to humor it. Unfortunately, whether it's my system, XP Home or just bad luck, even though it said it installed succesfully and all the drivers appeared in Device Managed, the installer didn't enable the keyboard and mouse on the Keyboard. I uninstalled the driver for the reciever under the USB drivers, unplugged the reciever, waited a while and plugged it in. Windows recognised it as a new device, and this time I told it to only look within the 'ip' folder for the drivers. I did this to every component, installed everything succesfully, banged a couple of keyboard keys and screamed with delight 8) Now I'm trying to master the mouse... Surely they could have done better with an IBM Thinkpad type one, instead of this push-down-and-move-while-trying-to-maintain-pressure-and-direction thing? [/QUOTE]
