Remote control - sounds like you have spent many hours Peter. A problem to really get your "teeth" into.

Well whatever the solution to remote control I hope that it matches the colour of my NOS1  very happy

All the best

Update:

I was able to confirm that the difficulties I had were the result of strange User Account Control issues and not the XX installation.

I tested if by running the same installation of XX from other user accounts in Win 8: 

A user account with administrator privileges (default) doesn't seem to work. 

A user account without administrator privileges can run XX if you run as administrator and type in the password.

The built-in administrator account works without hassles.
   
There is a small downside to using the built-in administrator account, since some of the "toys" in the new interface say they are not available with this account.  It's not a big deal if you just want to listen to music. 

I also use this computer for home theater video playback.  Netflix and movies off the hard disk work fine with the Administrator account.

The UAC problem might be a bug in this version of Win 8.  If it gets fixed in an update, I'll post a note.

Yes it does, and it works great! Since I've free access to W-server software, I've tried out W2008/2008R2SP1/2012. The very best of them is the newW2012, the sound is fuller, less edgy, more analogue like, the difference is not subtle! XXhighend on W2012 runs like on W2008, but so far I've not tried the Min OS funtion, first I need new activation keys, I had to do a fresh install because off partition problems.

Now I've W7 for media purposes, loaded with functions, and a minimal W2012 for XXhighend (I know Peter doesn't like me to mess up with to many OS's prankster)
