 When I hook up the infrared reciever for my remote to my computer, the remote
does nothing. Both on the remote and the reciever the LED lights up
indicating a signal yet it does absolutly nothing. I've tried restartin
several times... please help me!

 If you open up notepad and hit the number buttons on the remote does
anything show up?

Try this:

Take the batteries out and then either wait for half an hour, or drain the
capacitor (which you can do by connecting the + and - with something metal,
like a paper clip, fork, screwdriver etc...)

And no, I am not kidding. I have 2 MCE boxes running here at home and one
of my remotes needed this quite often for a while. Oddly, it has not need
it for a while...
