Ok, here ya go. The quickest route (not the best, but quickest)

1) Download and install Girder.
2) Download the Igor sfh-56 plugin and put it in your girder/plugins/hardware directory
3) Plug your Packard Bell Remote into the 2nd Serial port and reboot.
4) Run Girder, in hardware configuration, turn on Igor plugin and hit apply. Then go back in and set it to COM1/DCD. Click on FILE and select ENABLE INPUT DEVICES.
5) Try out girder..if the graphic in the lower right hand corner turns colors, then the remote works...if not do step 4 again, trying COM1,2,3,4,etc.. until it does.

If all that fails...come back here..post status..I'll then explain how you can use a serial port monitor to check what exactly is going wrong.
