Can't Stop WMC from Opening
« on: May 11, 2012, 02:02:37 pm »

Hello, new to the forum (and to MC, in general). I've searched the forums but can't find answer to a persistent problem where Windows Media Center (on my Dell ZinoHD, Win7) keeps trying to open when I press certain buttons on my Gyration remote.

I've checked all of the "disable WMC" dialog boxes I can find, but when I press the Guide button or the Info button (in particular), WMC rears its ugly head and overlays MC. Most of the other media center buttons seem to work fine with MC.

Any ideas how to disable WMC completely and restore the functionality of these buttons to MC?

Ah, that makes sense. I'll try that--thank you so much!
