Vista - Re: compatible remote controls for Vista 32/64bit betas

You can run the ATI remote wonder's software by installing the software for
XP from ATI's website and then copying over MFC71.DLL from the System32
folder of Windows XP into Program Files\ATI Multimedia\RemCtrl

This will ensure ATI's program receives the remote control's commands
through the Vista USB Receiver driver that gets installed automatically.

The remote works great with Vista, especially with Media Center

How did you get the remote wonder software to install in Vista? It keeps
telling me that atirw.dll, x10net.dll, atisserv.dll failed to register.
