Hey everyone,

I'm a long, long time lurker here, but this is my first post. I'm a DIY end user that's been with URC for a while (sadly, my dealer is no longer a URC dealer :( ) but I stocked up before the end anyway. I started with MX980, currently have MX1200, some KP900, receiver unit, etc. The poor MX980 was retired some time ago, though i still have it. ActiveSync drove me crazy, and I just plain love the 1200.

I bought a new Win 8.1 laptop a little while ago and just got around to trying to set it up for some program updates, went to learn a few IR commands and realized I never set up the remote on this laptop before. I plug it in, windows does it's "Unknown USB HID Device" thing in device manager, but isn't really connecting with the remote (the remote doesn't beep, and CCP can't see it.)

I have it communicating with 3 other computers, two windows 8.0, one win7. But I can't remember, and can't find the thread here that I once looked up, how to actually install the right driver for it. I don't have MDC installed, I don't think I need it for the 1200 or KP900 as both or plain USB, but maybe I do in fact need it?

I do remember doing some gyrations of installing the driver on the previous win8 box, but for some reason I can't remember what I did. I thought it was "Update Driver" in Device Manager and pointing to the Win7/Vista-x64 directory in the CCP install dir. But for now Windows is telling me those are not x64 compatible drivers. I tried the ones in the 32 bit directory as well with the same results. The problem is certainly me (it's working fine on my other machines, I just can't remember how I set them up), but I'd like to migrate everything to the new machine as soon as I can.

So for anyone who has it in their recent memory - when you get a brand new clean Win8 machine, install CCP, and plug an MX1200 or KP900 (or other USB sync model) what steps do you follow to make it work?
