Dear All,

This is reg uICE (Universal Infrared Control Engine). After installing in my Win 8 64-bit machine whileI try to launch it, I am getting the error-- The task monitor failed to start. Please reinstall uICE. Error: The service has not been started.

Reinstalling did not help. Nor did compatibility mode installation. Basically uICE declined to start in my Win 8 64 bit. Please note that this program worked fine on my previous 32 bit version of Win 8.

Is there a way to make it work on my PC? Alternatively you can suggest me some other programs like uICE to remote control multimedia applications like WMP, VLC player, Winamp etc?

Thanks in advance,
Troy.

I set compatibility for windows 98/ME and it stays running in memory, but I cant get it to do anything. Do I need hardware to show me a utility screen?

but this problem of mine is sorted now..i am using a pointing device to remote control the apps on my pc..no extra software needed for that.

Just curious, have you tried win98/me compatibility?

It stayed running for me when I used that, but not the other versions of windows..
