No X10 remote control in Windows7

After a night / day of playing with W7 it was getting late so i thought i would settle down and watch a DVD from media Centre , i fired it up with my mouse, grabbed my remote and …Zippo, nothing, it failed completely to contact W7 ??

Its an X10, 0R28V RF Vista remote and the most invaluable bit of kit i have but it dont work !!!! aarrhh !!!! some searching on the tinterweb has produced no info, a look into the remote settings in control panel dosent help alot , when the wireless remote control option is selected i get the error message ” wireless remote settings is not properly installed on this system ” ??  how i overcome this as yet i`m unsure so if any of you have any thoughts on he problem i would be most interested to hear from you, maybe M/s simply havent added the X10 remote features yet, but as its an RC release its hardly likely ??

Media Centre on my lounge Tv is now useless without a remote to control it….. annoying !!

The X10 0R28V RF Remote , works from anywhere in the house

* UPDATE *

And no sooner had i posted the blog, i found the answer, WM7 does
not natively support X10 by the looks of things , it still needs an
outside driver , i found it on the X10 web site , just install reboot
and tada , all is well in the remote control world
