Vista MCE Remote Problem

scottl2k · 2008-07-17, 05:23

I'm running the last SVN before RC1 (the last build able to use TVE2) on Vista (32 bit). With Vista's built in drivers, I didn't have to install anything custom to get it all working (except MPTray, to get "green button" support.)

Everything was flawless (or, really close) for quite a while. A few days ago, my system locked, and I had to do a hard-reset.

Since restarting, MediaPortal has stopped responding to the directional keys (up, down, left, right, OK). All of the other buttons seem to work without problems, and Windows is seeing the directional keys (I can move a cursor around with them).

I've tried disabling the MCE remote, restarting the machine, reenabling it, and a bunch of random twiddling (which I've put back to the previous state).

Does anyone have any idea of what I should look at? I really don't want to load a replacement driver -- this was all working great until 3 days ago.

Any ideas would really be appreciated!

Reinstalled the SVN, and full remote functionality is back.
