I bought my wife a new HP computer. It came with an IR receiver and I believe an MCE-compatible remote (it has that big green MS button in the center ;)). She’s won’t be using this option, so I thought I could see what I can accomplish on my PVR. However, I didn’t want to set it up outright on the server, so I figured I’d set it up on my own personal PC.
After getting it installed, here’s what it looks like in Device Manager:

[size=70]Notes:
#1 = cannot select turn off this device/Bring out of standby not selected
#2 = cannot select turn off this device/Bring out of standby IS selected
#3 = no Power Management tab
[/size]
My main purpose of using this device is to be able bring my HTPC out of S3 mode.
However, on my machine (WinXP SP2), when I put the computer into standby, it’s not fully S3, it’s either in S1 or S2 as the machine’s fans are still running. I have a feeling it’s because I cannot set the “Turn off this device” in the Power Management tab.
Any help in completing this option would be greatly appreciated!
