After many months delaying, I finally installed my remote last night. I installed the original drivers, then immeditately installed the 1.2 drivers. At the end of that process it prompted me to reboot, so I did.
It was pretty neat. I stood in the other room and changed the channel. My wife thought the TV program was going crazy. I changed my pointer to the big pointer so I could see it from the couch. I surfed the net for a bit and wished there was a button that would take me back a page. Then I shut it all down and went to bed.
This morning, I wanted to check the weather real quick , so I turned on the computer and noticed that there was no windows startup sound ( I hate that sound anyway ). I turned up the volume on the speakers, nothing. Oh well, time to check the weather. Loaded up internet explorer, nothing. It wouldn't load anything ( I have a cable modem ). I was frustrated, and out of time, but I checked to see if maybe the speaker was unplugged from the sound card. It wasn't but when I unplugged it and plugged it back in there was no pop like there would be if the sound card was active at all. So I checked all of the sindows volume controls, nothing there either. So finally I hit the desk cursed, shut down the pc, and went to work, which is where I am now.
If no better advice comes along today, I'll probably just pray and do a system restore to the last restore point, then just hammer that remote into tiny pieces (assuming the restore helps at all)
Any thoughts?
