Using Macbook IR sensor to control Windows Media Center

I'd like to use the ir sensor on the macbook so that when I use bootcamp and load windows media center I can use my harmony 880 remote to control it. I was able to get my harmony remote to work while in mac os x but i cant get it to work in windows.

Have you installed the Windows driver using your OS X disk? The IR remote should function according to the BootCamp manual:

Yea Ive installed the drivers and I can use my Harmony Remote in Windows Media Center but it only has the same functions that the apple remote has which is limited pretty much play/pause next/previous and volume. I need to have all the other options to make it functionable.

This topic would probably be better suited for the Boot Camp forum. However, a quick search there does not seem to reveal any suggestions for you... I would suggest you keep checking or post your topic there.
