No action from my HP WMC remote
I just reinstalled windows 7 64 bit. I had windowz update do all the updates. Windows updates as sell as the optional ones. ehome dfiver video card etc . All is well in device manager. It recognizes the hp usb ir receiver but when I press the windows button on the remote nothing. Press power nothing. The led is blinking on the remote and the receiver. What do I do now.

Whether the Power button works will depend on Power settings and possibly BIOS settings.
If you fire up Windows Media Center, can you navigate the menus using the Remote?

Check the HP website for a driver/software for the remote.
Might be needed.
