CyberRink Remote Control

[Auric]

Okay, I couldn't resist the Engrish on account of being hassled by a defective patch. To wit: after applying PowerDVD 5 patch 1107, Windows 5.0 hangs on shutdown with a CL RC Engine2 error (CyberLink Remote Control Engine2). I do not use the RC so it is easily solved by disabling PDVDServe in startup, not unlike Creative's wretched cthelper, also coincidentally for DVD functions but in that case WinDVD. Anyhoo, this USB RC can be had for $25 which ain't bad compared to others or stand-alone USB receivers so I am wondering if anyone has one and what their experience with it is. One potential downside already apparent besides the software interface to PDVD is the claimed operating range of a mere 10'.
