#Mediacenter 2006 driver
So, I replaced it with the original Microsoft driver and found that after installing the MCE Remote Rollup package (KB912024) the driver has a different version. This time I managed to got it to take, but the result was that the remote didn't do anything at all. I went for broke and gave the alternative MCE IR driver another try.
#Mediacenter 2006 install
Does anyone know a fix for that? I got the update to the driver/firmware from Microsoft, but of course it doesn't install since I only have a regular XP. Remote now works on XPSP2 32bit - but I have the sticky keys problem as so many others. Made the change and the driver now installed fine as an eHome Infrared Receiver. Just as I sent this one off I came across a page where a change for the inf was posted. They said the 1800 does.well, the card works. Hauppauge is also of no help, although I contacted them before and asked which of their cards work with XP 64bit. I just wonder how the XP Media Center is supposed to work with this remote when the inf file does not have the pid/vid combination? I contacted SMK and got nothing so far.

I am not that familiar with these types of hardware problems as I so far always managed to get some driver for all hardware that I use. The question of the day is:what do I need to do in order to get this remote to work? Any advice is welcome and any testing, trying, and hacking is something I consider as well. I can provide more information from the device manager, but stop here for now as I have no idea what is of relevance and what not. There is also another entry behind that all, but I have no idea if that is relevant: The alternative driver inf contains an entry for the VID_0609, but with a different PID.
#Mediacenter 2006 64 Bit
Since none of the media center applications work right under 64 bit XP I created a dual-boot with a 32bit version. Adding a line in does not help, although that worked to get the driver loaded under 64 bit XP. One of the reasons is that the VID/PID of the USB device is not listed in either the Microsoft driver nor the alternative driver inf files. When I plugin the USB cable the device manager detects it as "MCE Transceivr Emulator Device 2006" (yes, with the misspelled word 'transceivr'). The remote is a black remote, based on the pictures I found on the web it is a version 1 MCE remote. I have Windows XPSP2 and neither the MCE driver from Microsoft from the Rollup package for Media Center nor the alternative driver work for my USB IR transceiver. I got the Hauppauge HVR-1800 MCE kit and it comes with an MCE remote.
