Controlling Media Center 2005 w/WM2003SE

The Burmanator · 03-31-05, 04:10 PM

Axim is due to arrive any day now, (624mhz one). With the infrared or bluetooth, or even WiFi, is it possible to control a Media Center PC with the Axim?

I managed to get hold of Windows MCE 2005 and wondered if there was a piece of software that would enable me to control it from the bed, or a chair, :D.

Also, are there any free/cheap Good IR universal remote software packages you jolly lot can recommend?

Cheers in advance,
Nick

What about using some remote control software such as VNC?

Zerama,

If you look around the web you might be able to find an older free version.

However with a beta copy of Win 2005 be careful

Thankyou guys. I am being careful with this MCE version, just wanted to know if there was a way of controlling it with my Axim without shelling out the £25 for a Media Center remote...

I bought the media center remote and belive me dont bother wasting your time finding an alternative it does everything you want and is easy to use.

Plus all of the remote software i have had for my axim such as total remote,

none of them seem to work for me, i must be doing somthing wrong.
