    Ya, I was just curious if anyone here knows how to get the remote control Infared port to work on the dv8000t. I know its in the front of the coomputer right next to the lights and such, but why doesnt it show up in the device manager. Obviously it has one since you can order the hp remote control for it, unless that remote doesnt IR and im barking up the wrong tree. Anyone that can help I would very much appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Dan

    P.S : If there is some driver maybe I am missing since i didnt purchase the remote with the computer please let me know thx !!!
