I reinstalled my pc, cause I had Vista 32-bit, and wanted 64-bit.
So far everything has been working great, compared.
Anyway, I had trouble setting up Remote Joy because I couldn't open the drivers.
I made a short video to show exactly what the problem is, maybe someone could help and tell me what to do. Thanks in advance, here's the video-

...is that how you installed the 32-bit drivers before?

Normally you don't open driver files. Either there is a setup program ("setup.exe" or "install.exe") or you add the device through the control panel / device manager and select that file when prompted for the drivers. (eg "Have Disk" during the add hardware wizard)

Yea, that's how I did it before.
It's for the remote joy for PSP.
If you have time, you could look up youtube videos of people explaining how to do it. It worked like that before, although there was one where you had to enter CMD stuff, but it's not this specific one.

Actually, it's perfectly acceptable to right click on a .inf file (Information file), and select "Install". Just a lot more common to see a setup file do it for you :wacko:

As for your problem, iirc, I didn't install any remote joy drivers. It just worked. I'm probably wrong, though ^^;

Yea, it's not working like that :(
Remote Joy doesn't seem to like 64-bit Vista.
I see on you tube that there are ways to make it work, I've tried em, and nothing...
EDIT: I found this Tutorial (http://endlessparadigm.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=13631) but it means nothing to me. I have no idea what they are trying to tell me to do.

Maybe if you're still using Windows 9x you can expect that to work properly...


That tutorial seems pretty straightforward. All of the bold stuff ("bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON " etc) would be entered into a command prompt. Basically it's making a temporary certificate for your driver so Vista will trust it.

I think I got it. I temporarily got it on my screen, and I didn't install the drivers :o?

It's how I install most of my drivers, and it works fine on XP and Vista. ^^

I know almost nothing about computers, let alone command prompts.

The reason Remote Joy doesn't have the little window thing is because you can hit F4 or something and it goes away.
But, it seems I have to restart windows and hit the F8 key, then disable blah blah stuff.
I hope I can make it work w/o doing this everytime.
Although, I never shut my pc off, so as long as I don't it should work all the time, right?

Thanks for trying to help :D
