PC remote control of Tv

["Diane Huberty" <liveletdie@xxxxxxx>]

I recently got a new computer with Vista and Girder stopped working. I
downloaded Girder5 Beta, supposedly "Vista-ble", but it is a nightmare for a
non-geek. Setting up Girder3 was challenging enough. I don't want to deal
with the lousy instructions for the beta or Girder4. Does anyone have
suggestions for a SIMPLE program to use with my USB UIRT to control my
television from my computer?  I am a quadriplegic and can't use a standard
remote but can use a mouse. I have X-10 for controlling lights etc. from my
computer and I have no need for cameras, scheduled automation, controlling
computer programs, burglar alarms or spying on the neighbors. All I need is
to turn the TV on and change channels using ny mouse. (I don't want to use
my computer as a TV though. Nothing that riveting on that I don't want to
work on my computer while watching TV.) Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated!
