Antec Fusion V2 with Vista - Remote not working!

the-waves · **28th June 2007, 02:49 AM**

Hi there Guys,

I have just bought a shiny new Antec Fusion V2 running Vista Ultimate and it's pretty darn good thus far. There is however one very big problem. The Fusion MCE Remote ( Black one with purple buttons) does not seem to work with either the Antec or the included IR. I am not really sure where to start with this, buy a new remote or stick with this one? All suggestions will be a[appreciated!

Hmmm, I have been looking into this and am thinking of buying a Logitech Harmony 525 just to get things up and running, what do people think - is this a good remote to use as a media centre remote with Vista?

Its a fine remote, its not as fancy looking as the 800 or 1000 series but will do what you want.
Im not sure if the Antec fusion receiver doubles as a microsoft receiver, if it does not look at some remote software like girdler but free versions that map keyboard keys to a standard remote.

Not really 100% sure why the receiver is not working, i have the antec fusion v1 but maybe try not having the reciever connected to motorboard/usb part boot into windows and then plug it in, i know when my microsoft one plays up unplugging and replugging fix's it.

Cheers,

I am actually thinking of the following:

It **looks** like it might allow mouse like navigation, but we will see what they say. What is this girdler software you speak of?

Hello thewaves,

Are you able to get your Fusion V2 to resume from sleep with the VFD still working. Everytime I resume from sleep both the VFD and MCE2005 Remote have stopped functioning. And need reboot to fix.

Cheers,

Tim
