[QUOTE="and-81, post: 247781, member: 11844"] Unfortunately I can't make any promises about what will happen if you get an MCE IR device. Some Mainboards just don't do the whole Suspend/Resume thing properly and will never work right. But my experience has been this: If I install Windows XP Pro SP2, no updates, and then plug in my MCE receiver it will not do suspend/resume right ... If I then install the MCe remote update it will come good, but sometimes I need to tweak the settings in MCE Standby tool. But this is just my experience on my PCs. Both of my PCs (my development PC and my HTPC) are very similar (1 is an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe mainboard and the other is an A7N8X-X mainboard) so that's probably got something to do with the consistency in my results. I've just finished setting up a new development/testing pc, so it will be interesting to see how it behaves. I can't remember if I've asked you this before (I find it hard to keep track of everyone :)) but where are you in Australia? If you're in Melbourne I could lend you an MCE IR receiver to try out?
