http://www.techsupportforum.com/hard...-mons.htmlThat was the first fancy gagdget i found..now I found HIP- Hardware Interface Program.MY HVR-1600 came with a desktop MCE remote. But I don't run MCE on my desktop. Turns out remote runs fine with the laptop. So, I looked around, found the proper drivers for the "eHome IR Transmitter" via my XP pro disk (Home won't have the drivers- MCE and Pro does). Then downloaded HIP and got it configured. It doesn't support everything, but I got windows explorer, itunes, powerpoint, and media player configured (it's application specific). play, next, previos, FF, rew, directionals, ok, volume, mute, numerals, and the 4 colored buttons work. I have attached the configuration file I am using to make everything work, as well as the modified drivers that allow the eHome IR device to work under XP home.
