Phillips IR issues in Vista

External Since: May 12, 2008 Posts: 1

There is a serious problem with the Philips IR ehome devioce driver in Vista.
The Philips remote control will behave eratically after prolonged usage; for
example pressing the righ menu key isbehaves like pressing it 10 times;
randomly other times pressing any of the menu up/down/right/left keys on the
Philips remote control is like pressing the button forever, it will not stop
for example scrolling the MCE front menu options endlessly.
I have been told that Phillips and MS have acknowledged the fault and have a
new driver posted somewhere. However I cannot find the new driver required to
resolve the problem.

I'd have thought Philips site was the place to start
