I followed these instructions with the win7 x64 drivers and had no luck. I then cut my losses and reinstalled windows 7, but 32 bit this time. Whaddya know? It worked with the normal drivers following the dseo instructions. In one of the forums someone said they thought that the issue might be with the nonstandard install location of 32bit programs under 64bit windows. Whatever the problem, unless you need more than 4BG of ram for your media center computer, 32bit seems like the best bet for Win7 + XBOX remote right now.

Firstly... Nice to see people still using "old" hardware
 Now, I've had this setup running on my PC (Win7 x64) before so I knew I could get it working... but I've just spent the afternoon having "some fun" getting it working again on my laptop (also Win7 x64). Just in case it can be of use to anyone trying to get it running on Win7 x64, I'll detail what I did to get it all going: Stuff required: 64bit drivers: http://www.acidapple.com/veube/xbcdrc_x64.zip (thanks of course goes to Veube for making these!) Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (DSEO): http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo (required to get Win7 x64 to load the "unsigned" driver) EventGhost: http://www.eventghost.org/ (what I'm using for picking up the IR controls and doing something useful with them... actually using it for driving Foobar2000 atm, as opposed to XBMC, but I have used it with XBMC previously) Step-by-Step: 1. Extract the xbcdrc_x64.zip somewhere convenient (Note: this location for later!) 2. Then copy the xbcdrc.sys file into C:\Windows\System32\Drivers 3. Run DSEO. Select "Enable Test Mode" and then click "Next". You'll get a dialog confirming test mode has been enabled and telling you to reboot. 4. REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER! 5. Run DSEO again. This time select "Sign a System File" and then click "Next" 6. When prompted, enter "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\xbcdrc.sys" (WITHOUT THE QUOTES!) into the dialog and click "OK". You should get a dialog saying signing was successful. 7. REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER! 8. Plug in your Xbox IR Dongle - Windows should install a USB Composite Device and fail on 2 "Unidentified Devices" 9. Goto Start->Devices and Printers 10. Double Click the "USB Composite Device" (it should have the little yellow ! triangle), then click the "Hardware" Tab. You'll see the USB Composite Device and 2 "Unknown Devices" 11. Select one of the "Unknown Devices" and click the Properties Button, then select the "Details" tab and set the "Property" dropdown, to "Hardware Ids". You will see either: USB\VID_045E&PID_0284&REV_0130&MI_01 USB\VID_045E&PID_0284&MI_01 or USB\VID_045E&PID_0284&REV_0130&MI_00 USB\VID_045E&PID_0284&MI_00 If you have MI_01, this is the "GENERIC" remote device, you want the one that says MI_00, as this is the "Microsoft" remote device. If you got the GENERIC one, go back and select the other "Unknown Device" before continuing. 12. Select the "General" tab (still in the the "Unknown Device" Properties) and click the "Update Driver..." button 13. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" 14. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" 15. Select "Human Interface Devices" from the list and click "Next" 16. Ignore everything on this page and just click the "Have Disk..." button 17. Click "Browse" and then navigate to where you extracted the drivers in step 1. Select XBCDRC.inf and click "Open", and then "Ok" 18. You should now see 2 entries, one for "XBCD XBox Remote Control Generic" and one for "XBCD XBox Remote Control Microsoft". Select the Microsoft one and click "Next" 19. A big scary red dialog box warning you of the evils of unsigned drivers will pop up. Select "Install this driver software anyway" 20. After a short delay... you should get a notice saying that "Windows has successfully updated your driver software". Yay!  21. Go back to the "USB Composite Device" Properties, Select the remaining "Unknown Device", Select "Properties", then the "Driver" Tab and then click "Disable". Go ahead and click "Yes" when prompted if you are sure 22. Install EventGhost and load it up. It might whine about not being able to find an X10 remote receiver on first start up, just ignore it. Select "File->New" 23. Then "Configuation->Add Plugin", Select "Xbox remote control" and click "Ok" 24. Enter XBCD in the prefix box if you want, the important thing here is to make sure that the "Trigger enduring events for buttons" box is CHECKED. Otherwise, EventGhost gets VERY sensitive and will register about 4 or 5 instances of each button press! Click "Ok" (Note: If you want to speed up button repetitions for things like scrolling menu's or volume changes, you can configure "Autorepeat Current Macro" options later) 25. If you start pushing buttons on the remote, you should now see events in the log that look like "XBCD.xxxxxxx" (assuming you entered XBCD as the prefix) Congratulations!  Now it's just a matter of configuring EventGhost to work with XBMC (or whatever else you want)... the most common way to get XBMC working is to use the XBMC2 (aka. XBMC Repeat) plugin that comes with EventGhost. Unfortunately, I can't help with this part... but at least your remote should now be working!  OPTIONAL: If you want to remove the "Test Mode" watermark from your desktop... you can go here http://deepxw.blogspot.co.nz/2008/12/rem...81210.html and get a utility for removing it. (Note: choosing the remove watermark option in DSEO takes you to the same place)

Hi there,
This drivers never worked on any vista/ windows 7 x64  I do get to step 19. A big scary red dialog box warning you of the evils of unsigned drivers will pop up. Select "Install this driver software anyway" 20. After a short delay... you should get a notice saying that "Windows has successfully updated your driver software" I don't Windows is saying that part of the inf is either missing or incorrect Here is what's in the inf file Quote:[Version] Anyone has a clue ? I will try to run it under windows 7 32 bit, but i would definitly prefer have it work under win 64

Nice to see people still using "old" hardware After several complete re-installation & test I can tell you this : xbcdrc_x64 will only work with vista or Windows 7 x64 HOME PREMIUM , but will not work with PRO or ULTIMATE versions Just because the driver is signed for Windows 7 x64 HOME premium, and there is some code missing to have it work with PRO or ULTIMATE versions I will try to find someone to fix this , if anyone can sign it or know where to have it signed please pm me [/size]

It works fine with Pro... my desktop, laptop and the HTPC in the lounge are all running Win7 x64 PRO... and they all work OK...
In fact, I've recently rebuilt my desktop and hadn't got around to re-installing the xbox remote, so I've just done this now using my guide above and it is working fine. Not sure why it didn't work for you??!? The only things I can think of are that you either didn't reboot the computer... you have to do this twice (once after enabling Test Mode, and once after signing the driver). It is a pain in the arse, but it is necessary to make this work. or maybe you weren't running DSEO or the driver install as administrator? I have also disabled UAC... but not sure that really matters... |

I did reboot two times, and follow strickly what was said above. I do get the watermark test mode, then the signing is correct. I run a french version of Windows 7 x64, maybe that's why !!! O_o -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- or maybe you weren't running DSEO or the driver install as administrator? I have also disabled UAC... but not sure that really matters... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have two accounts : administrator and my name, both have the same administrator rights. I will try to install it under admin account. What do you mean by UAC ?
