ATI Remote Wonder & MC7?

My method was working on win7 x86 32bit.
I think if you will right click on windows folder and select "run as administrator" command you will be abble to copy the other file wich gives you access denied message!
Hope it will help you. If is not, reply and I will gladly advice you as soon as possible.
Success!

Thanks for the reply capkrane I was able to get it working in the long run, my problem was I was using a more up to date driver, in my case to get it work in win 7 x64 was to copy over 2 dll files (mfc71.dll & msvcr71.dll) into windowssystem32 folder, no issues with access denied message, reboot, install the vista drivers (setup_rwplus_xp_vista.exe) again reboot, and instal the multilanguage version, reboot, when i came back into windows i got 2 errors but again just rebooted and no more errors. :)

How ever not the end of my woes, i had major issues getting TV out to work with my old CRT 4:3 TV, so after 4 days i gave up went back to XP untill i can buy a new TV which will be in Jan sales, shame to be honest i like 7 an awefull lot and coming back to XP looks very dated.

Just to confirm what Jazzy posted on getting this remote to work, I tried other methods to no avail, but his method was just too simple to work, but it does!! I added a step, don't think it was necessary but I installed Ati 3.04 first in xp compability mode, the rebooted. Re installed use the (REPAIR OPTION) but this time not in compability mode. Reboot. Does not work yet, no remote icon in task bar. Installed ati vista/64 wonder plus driver and guess what! It works! Hope this can help anybody out there trying this endeavor. I really would go this route first, might save you alot time and grief! By the way somewhere along my trial an errors the ati usb remote driver got update, probably from the x10 driver set. I don't believe this is necessary either. Win7 installed a "stock" driver which would probably work fine. Just trying to cover all bases. If I where to do all over again I just stick with Jazzy's method. Cause simple is beautiful!

I know it's not entirely the answer to the question, but two years ago when I went from XP to Win7 x64 and couldn't get my Remote Wonder (which I'd been using with BeyondTV) to work with WMC, I decided just to go with the Microsoft WMC Remote (A9O-00007).

After a reasonable effort which was unsuccessful, I decided it just wasn't worth my time and trouble to see if I could get my Remote Wonder to work and simply found a standard Microsoft remote on the Internet and bought it. It's actually still running on the very same batteries I put into it 2 years ago!!! PERFECT SOLUTION, and the price was right!

There's a brand new one right now up for bid on eBay for all of $27.50.

I'm just sayin'...

Th ereason i like the remote wonder stuff is it's not IR, given my pc is about 20-30 feet away from the tv unit i'd have to run a 30 foot extension to put the reciever by the tv, otherwise i'd might move away from ati remote wonder

I finally got my "ATI Remote Wonder I" to work on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit thanks to Jazzy on this forum after 2 days searching the internet and trying different techniques that didnt work. After a fresh install of Windows 7, motherboard and graphics drivers, this is how i did it:

1. Plug in the Remote Wonder USB (I shut off the internet connection first, not sure if it makes a difference though but i didnt let windows update get a new driver for it)

2. Download and install Windows XP 32 bit Remote Wonder 3.04 software (found here -> Remote Control Software (Multilanguage) and then reboot. When you boot up again you will get a few errors from Windows. Just hit ok.

3. Download and install Windows Vista 32 bit Remote Wonder Software (found here -> Remote Control Software for Catalyst™ Media Center and Windows Vista Media Center (limited functionality)

After you do that you will see the remote icon in the bottom right hand corner of the taskbar and your remote wonder will now work!

You can click the taskbar icon up arrow and choose "show icon and notifications" for it to always appear in the bottom right if you dont see it at first. Im not saying you have to clean install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit but its just how i did it since i just reformatted everything recently. Just follow the 3 steps with the included files and it should work even if you installed Windows a long time ago.

Can I just use the 64Bit version of the driver from ATI? or will that not work.

Does anyone have a copy of this laying around - setup_rwplus_xp_vista.exe. I can't seem to get any of the links to work.

Thanks
