    Hi

    With my G2S package i received a remote control and a usb infrared dongle/reciver. Since i`m not planning to use it on my gaming rig i thought of using it on my Windows XP media center 2005. The problem is that windows xp doesn't want to install it since no driver can be found. I see it in the device manager (it turns up as BB+ DONGLE). I have been searching all over the net for a driver that works without any luck what so ever.

    Suggestions anyone?

    That's strange - I am pretty sure that my system (xp pro sp2) just found the device and installed drivers automatically. It shows up on my machine as 'Microsoft eHome Infrared Receiver' - lots of info on this if you google it.
