Hi,

I have Packard Bell desktop bought around 4 years ago. Previously it had Windowns XP installed. I have installed Vista on it but my USB RF remote control I had with it, its no longer working. Cannot find usb drivers anywhere for it.

Any help please?

Thanks
MS

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Go into DEVICE MANAGER
    Are there any yellow exclamation marks for anything other than the device (whatever it is, im really not sure)
    :idea:
  • It sounds like it is a comparability issue in Vista, you would need to check there official website (but it probably wont support hardware which is 4 years old) but its worth a shot to see if there is any known issues/fixes for it.

    Other than that, UPGRADE to XP (yes upgrade, Vista is terrible) or forget about using it :)
