Microsoft Remote Keyboard

[RV]

I recently lost my media Centre PC. I still have the remote keyboard and
infrared receiver. How can I make this work on an XP professional PC which
is not running Microsoft media Centre edition?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi Mike
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I cannot find my particular KB on
the site. The keyboard in question is "Microsoft Remote Keyboard". It was
designed for the media centre edition operating systems from Microsoft. The
keyboard uses an infrared receiver that plugs into a USB port. With media
centre XP it was not necessary to load any drivers to use the keyboard.

Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Try this driver. It is version 6.1 which apparently supports your keyboard..
