    Can you describe what you have attempted to gain cursor control using the remote? Like:
     
    - Were the remote's batteries fresh?
    - Was the remote operating within the field of view of the projector's IR sensor?
    - Did the computer's Device Manager recognize an additional human interface device?

    The unit is brand new. The batteries are also brand new.  I pointed the remote device directly at the projector's IR sensor.  I could not control/move the mouse cursor with the remote device.  The left (Rsync button) and right (Enter trigger button) also was not responsive. 
     
    On first plug in, the USB device installation came on and installed, but I could not find it in the list of USB plug-in hardware device.  Are there special USB drivers required for the projector and remote to work?

    Thanks

    The remote mouse control does not use any special driver. From the sound of it, either your remote has a bad IR LED, or your projector has bad IR recievers. Time to give Dell a call for product repair?

    The remote operates correctly with other functions, such as the OSD menu functions.  It just does not work with the mouse.   Do you think it is still the IR receiver or component?

    Thanks

    Ok. Can I change my mind? :smileytongue: Maybe it's the USB cable or the board inside the projector that has problem? Then it defaults back to "return the projector for repair." :smileyhappy:
     
    Why hasn't the Dell moderator stepped in, eh?

    You certainly can change your mind.  I appreciate the help.  Is there a Dell moderator that can respond to this?
     
    Many Thanks

    IRPTech,

    The remote's mouse functions are only supported under Windows XP & Windows 2000. What operating system are you running?

    The remote control has a cover, close it. Now, the R-sync button functions as the right mouse button. The Enter button functions as the left mouse button. The directional pad moves the mouse arrow. Your saying that none of these function on the windows desktop?

    Yes,  None of the buttons move the mouse pointer or right/left button.
     
    I was using Win2K but recently upgraded to XP.  I have not tried it on XP, but will try soon.
     
    Thanks
