Normal
I spent a little time on this, and investigated the driver packages used in bootcamp. One of them installs a file called IRFilter64.sys that is apparently the driver for the IR port itself, since removing it rendered all remotes inoperative.From what I can see there doesn't seem to be a dedicated driver for the remote per se, which tells me that it's built in to something else, probably the bootcamp driver itself. I guess my only hope now is to either find a registry key that disables the remote control keypress interception, or find a switch on the driver that disables it. I think I may be screwed a little.
