Problems with all remotes on custom built HTPC
Hi,
I have spent several days on google and several other websites to get this to work to no avail.
I have problems with all remotes on my HTPC. I have a zalman remote (that came with the HD 160 case), I have purchase a ir remore with seperate USB receiver, and a few days ago I bought the gyration air music RF remote.
All have a similar problem:
The remote will work for a while in mce, and then will get 'bogged down'. It will no longer be responsive, and either will stop functioning all together, or will get stuck in repeating the last command (for instance it will 'loop' through the main menu).
If I leave the remote alone for a while, it will resolve itself, and it will work for a short while, but then it will have the same symptoms after some use.
I have doublechecked the HID service to be running, the usb receiver gets recognized correctly. The remote works brilliantly on another pc (a stock HP pavilion). There is no workload on the machine when I have this problem. And I have disconnected the two HVR 950 tuners, and I still have the same problem.
I have had this problem on a x64 install of windows 7 ultimate, as well as the current x32 install.
Any usb connection seems to have the same issue, a USB mouse can also have some issues (which is why I have resorted back to using ps2 mouse and keyboard).
Anyone with any suggestions? I feel like I have tried everything.
Thanks,
Pip.
