Using Silverstone lc 16m-s with iMon VFD and iMon PAD remotecontrol.

VFD running in plugin-mode and controlled by Media Portal LCD plugin as described here: http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.so...light=imon+pad

iMon PAD using a .imo file as described here:

Synopsis: When the remote havent been used for a while, it can no longer control MP. If I use any other input (such as wiggling my mouse), it (the remote) returns to normal operation.

I also have problems with the "pointer" device on this remote. I cant get reliable control over arrow-navigation and the selection goes all over the place.

BTW, the remote does not seem to work when loggin in to windows. Anyone have a clever idea so that I dont have to keep my mouse?

I would like a "locked" setup that allows all users to boot up/down the computer and use all features in MP (without ever knowing that its a windows computer), but not allowing:
*to exit into windows
*to step "up" from folders assigned to MP

Currently, I have to use my mouse to log in to windows, then the desktop is shown while windows does all its little things, then MP automatically starts.

I don't know about your remote, but in my case it is supported without any additional drivers within MP.
In case I want to use it when MP is closed, I have to install a program to be able to use it.

I don't think that you can prevent someone from closing MP and get your windows environment since with the new version, you always have those 4 buttons in the home screen of MP.
Have a look at this page to get a beter HTPC feeling: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Use...HTPC_looknfeel

Maybe changing the shell is an option but I don't have a clue what the result would be.
