Just got my HTPC put together yesterday, which includes a Hauppauge 1800 and its bundled remote. After getting everything setup i noticed that the remote would not work. In the device manager it was listed as "MCE TRANCEIVR Emulator device 2006". After some searching I found that I needed to install the eHome IR rollup off of microsoft's web page. Still didn't work. After some more searching, I tried a hack I found to trick it into installing the drivers, which it did. After that the IR dongle now lights up when I push a button on the remote. For about 15 minutes it worked in media portal, though poorly (it acted like one of the button's were stuck any time I pushed a button). I tried rebooting at this point and now it doesn't work at all again. I've got the black 45 button remote, and from a few things I've read, it only is supported with vista.
Are there any remotes that work natively with XP Pro, or at the very least without a bunch of hacks?
