Hi seyar74,

Unfortunately, the POWER button doesn't work as a recognised "keycode" in MediaPortal. I read something somewhere once that the POWER button on the remote sends a different signal of some sort, not like the other codes. The Winfast Wizard can recognise the POWER button OK, but once you're in MediaPortal - as you say - it causes problems.

Not really much that can be done .... that is really the last drawback to using this remote (and the fact that, for me, I can't get the remote to wake up the PC from standby). In terms of the wife and kids hitting the POWER button, there's not really much that can be done there either. My wife knows that she can't use the POWER button anytime - and also that she has to manually turn the PC on when it's in standby. I'm sure after enough times of the error happening, your W&K will learn that they need to be very careful using the remote so they don't press the POWER button!

Cheers,
Craig
