July 10, 200620 yr I just go an MCE Remote keyboard and would like to also use it for an XP Pro installation. Which parts of Update Rollup 1 do I have to put in my Pro install to support this keyboard? Edited July 10, 200620 yr by Bezalel
July 15, 200620 yr Hi Bezalel,All you need is SP2. I use my MCE Remote Keyboard on XP Pro all the time.You just plugin the eHome Transceiver, let XP Pro find it, then switch on the Remote Keyboard.

Interesting...I have the Keyboard in MCE and I recall seeing a specific update just for the eHome Receiver / Keyboard. It wasn't a high priority update, just an update...I will try to find the hotifx number for you...EDIT: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912024/ Edited July 17, 200620 yr by JuMz
July 17, 200620 yr Author The problem is that the keyboard only works if you have Update Rollup 1 or later installed. Since I don't have MCE installed I cant apply the Update Rollup. If I knew which files from the update rollup were for the keyboard I might be able to install them manually.Overall the keyboard is a big dissapointment. Since it does not emulate a legacy keyboard I can't use it to access the BIOS or during Windows Setup.
