I have tried the following remote controls.
Original Xbox using a USB adaptor and the X10 software, worked once, then never again.
Fusion HDTV, works fine in Windows MCE, does not the second you load up XBMC.
ATI All in Wonder Remote (just the remote and the RF sensor), no luck.
HA-IR01SV (eHome Infared Transceiver). Apparently only works in Vista, and it does, however every attempt to get XBMC to work on Vista fails.
Looking on Newegg, I really don't see a standard Infared remote that works with XP or MCE. Its all Vista based, which is not an option for me and the fact of the matter is, I really don't want to spend more money on a remote that MIGHT work.
I have done clean installs of both XP SP3 & MCE SP3, using very minimal amount of system drivers.
What the hell am I doing wrong? Should be as simple as point Device mananager to an INF or SYS file and click next. I would really like to assist in testing XBMC, but without a remote control, i'm still stuck using an original Xbox for media playback.
