[QUOTE="crazyfool, post: 330315, member: 83240"] Just thought i'd share this in case someone wanted to do this... Basically I currently own 4 remotes 2 for vista, 1 for xp and a harmony 525. Neither of the vista ir receivers worked under xp so i bought an unofficial xp one which turns out to use different commands and therefore can't be controlled by an application such as intelliremote which i am using for media portal. After a bit of research i found a thread on the green button which helped me solve the issue and get a vista ir receiver installed and working in xp. This is the thread: [url=http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/251725.aspx]The Green Button - Vista Infrared receiver on Windows XP?[/url] The gist of it is get the ir receivers hardware id from Computer Management (right click my computer, manage) Create an entry for your remote in the irbus.inf file in C:\WINDOWS\inf. So for example all i did was copy an existing entry such as this: [B]%USB\VID_045E&PID_006D.DeviceDesc%=IrBus_V2, USB\VID_045E&PID_006D ; Microsoft Remote[/B] And replace the last part with my ir recievers id: [B]%USB\VID_045E&PID_006D.DeviceDesc%=IrBus_V2, USB\VID_1784&PID_0006 ; VMC[/B] After that i unplugged my reciever, plugged it back in and installed the driver automatically and it works great... maybe this can help someone else out...:D [/QUOTE]
