New to the community and in need of help

[O.E]

Hi there, I came across this site by chance and was so facinated by the Firefly remote that I went out to Best Buy and picked one up. To make a long story short, I needed a longer range on my Media centre remote and so I picked up the FF as it claims to be compatible with Windows Media Centre Edition. The problem is, Windows can't recognise the remote. I've tried searching the forum for help but I've had no luck as yet. Any help would be greatful.

Regards,

OE

Windows really does not need to recognize the remote in order for it to work. The remote is designed to control itself and emulate keyboard shortcuts so it will be compatiable with a large amount of programs.

So the point being, make sure you are keeping beyond media basic running in the task bar and you should be able to use your remote.
