Hey all,

Has anybody been able to get this to work? Windows update installs 64-bit drivers for the receiver just fine, but the application doesn't seem to want to install. Compatibility mode and all has been tried to no avail. Thanks in advance.
 
Hey Cambo,

Took me a while, but I finally got my old Remote Wonder to work under Win7 (including mousepad).

While I'm not sure if it's a necessary step, I had just upgraded to the "leaked" 7048 release of Windows 7 (I had been using 7000 previously). I did notice that 7048 found a driver for my old printer that 7000 could not, so maybe that tells us something (though 7000 claimed to have found & installed a working driver for RW as well).

These are the steps I used that eventually got Remote Wonder working in Windows7 Beta (including mousepad). Most steps are probably unnecessary, but it eventually worked after doing them:


(If already plugged in, Unplug Remote Wonder.)

Download Remote Wonder software version 1.4 (search google for "remote-wonder-1-40-0-0.exe"). Supposedly, only this version works right.
Download ftp.x10.com/pub/applications/drivers/x10drivers_x64.exe (x10 drivers).
Download Remote Wonder 64bit Vista driver from ATI website.
Download Remote Wonder 32bit XP driver v3.04 from ATI website.
Download Remote Wonder plugin for "Windows Media Player 10"
Download Remote Wonder plugin "MLRmtPgn.dll 3.04" (for Windows Media Center).
...Sit on them for the time being...

Install RW-1.4. Reboot.

After rebooting, plug Remote Wonder into USB port. The Driver Wizard will search, find, and correctly install drivers.

(after each step, check the tray's "Hidden Icons" (up arrow) for the Remote Wonder icon. Once you see it, you can probably skip to the last step.)

Run "x10drivers_x64.exe." Reboot.

Install RW's 64bit Vista driver. Reboot.

Install the XP 3.04 software. Reboot.

The Remote Wonder icon should now be among the hidden tray icons.

*** LAST STEP ***

Right-click and click Properties.

On the first tab, select "One set for all features".

On the "Plug-Ins" tab, import the "Media Center Library" ("MLRmtPgn.dll") and "Windows Media Player 10" ("WMP10.dll") plugins. Click OK.

Remote should now work, including mousepad.

Let me know if you find certain steps to be unnecessary. I just listed everything I did before it finally worked. - Mugsy
 
mugsy you are the man! thank you very much for helping me get the remote working on 7.
 
I was going to give this a shot today, but when I came home, windows found an updated driver for the remote wonder. installed it, and the device looked good in device manager, but still didn't work. so i installed the 3.04 software for windows XP, rebooted, windows updated the driver again, and it works perfectly.


So, install 3.04 software, then let windows 7 get the update. I havent even bothered trying to get it working with the apps yet tho, but the basic media functions and mouse work.

This is with Windows 7 64-bit retail btw.
