I bought this Media Center Remote unsure if it would work with XP Media Center. It was not plug and play on XP but after a quick search on google for drivers it worked perfectly. Spent no more than 60 seconds looking for the XP Drivers (No drivers disc is included in the package). Perfect remote for the price. Will be purchasing another for a different computer.

My Vista pc picked it up and installed without any prompts for drivers. Vista walked me through the prompts for setting up the connection to my digital cable box via the ir blaster and it works flawlessly.

Definately can't be beat for the price.

This a really handy Remote Kit for Windows Media Center, I installed it and use it with Vista 64bit ... plugged it all in .. it was recognised by the media center setup. Everything works well, some very handy buttons, giving you direct jumps to "My Music" "My Pictures" "My Video" "Recorded TV" "DVD Menu" "Live TV" and "Guide" ... I'm using it with Comcast Digital, and it works well with that (altho I cant seem to use the pay per view services).
