osterac Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 For those of you who have a windows media center eHome remote and can't access the console, I have found a way to fix it. There was a temporary way of just uninstalling the device, but then the remote wouldn't work and would come back when you restart. I found that by getting rid of one of the device's "children" I could keep the remote functional and use the console in Fallout. The device in question is in the Keyboards section of device manager, and it's called "Microsoft eHome MCIR 109 Keyboard." There's no actual option to disable it, so here's what I did. Go to the device's properties and then the driver tab. Click "update driver" and then "browse my computer for driver software." Next click "let me pick..." Uncheck "show compatible hardware" and select something like the Korean PC/AT 101 keyboard. Tell it to install that (it will warn about incompatibility), and for me I got a "this device cannot start" error. That's good, I don't want it to start. So I start up the game and the console works! Close the game, remote works too. I don't know how many people have this problem, probably not many, but I thought I'd share anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
