Green Button doesn't work
« on: March 30, 2009, 10:13:44 pm »
Is there some logging I can turn on to see why the Green Start button on the Microsoft 1039 Rev2 Remote/1040 Rev 1.0A receiver combo I just got isn't working in MC?  EventGhost sees the event just fine and the MCE button on my keyboard works in MC.  I was hoping to ditch EventGhost completely, but I guess I can configure it to fire Shift F11 when it sees the Start event until this is fixed...

This is the remote:

Thanks!

Oh, and apparently exactly the same model of remote.

Are you using any other software with the remote that could be catching the buttons?

No, although I may have had HIP installed on this setup at one stage (I cant remember if I've re-installed since)

I know you both use some "third party plug-ins".  It's not likely that this is the cause, but it's worth disabling them to test.

I actually uninstalled EventGhost when I removed my Hauppauge PVR-150 and it's remote and installed the new MS Remote receiver.  I was about ready to completely re-install the OS too, but I finally found that the BIOS setting that allowed USB devices to wake the PC had been disabled at some point.  I only re-installed EventGhost after I couldn't get the Green Button to work directly in MC.  I don't think I have any 3rd party plug-ins installed at the moment either.  There must be some difference between the XP driver and the Vista one.

Running XP here too and this is what I put it down to also. The green button's never worked for me without some other program catching it.
