well, i sort of figured out a work around. left the BeyondMedia Basic FlireFly software installed. Put the DVD button to PDVD, Set the TV Button to BeyondTV. Fired up media portal and figured out every command that worked without any remote in the configuration screen. took the Firefly xml, installed it under the other x10 and then deleted every function that worked <prettymuch only leaving play pause rewind fforward stop etc.> and it is working beutifly. Im even using the center button that pulls up the Beyond Media Basic as a task switcher so i can have even more programs at my finger tips> so look slike the secrete to full functionality is an unholy aliance between BM Basic and MP. Just could not live without my push button program access

Here's my contribution:
improvements like "Info" button, screen toggle on "option" (closer to thumb) - no "exit" (system is always on)
but the most important:
teletext functions , next/prev page , next/prev subpage
slideshow, next/prev picture
music : next/prev song.

</mappings>I have used this xml file in the past and loved it, worked really well. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and Mediaportal doesn't seem to be reading the xml file for the remote settings.
MP is configure to use an x10 remote and is set to other. When I went to edit the original xml file there was no "custom" folder and no "other x10.xml" file so I created one. In windows 7 the file should be here: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\ Custom\other x10.xml as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have any ideas why it isn't reading my xml file or creating one for the custom remote?
BTW: I am using a Firefly x10 remote.
THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED - see below
It was a combination of using LM Remote Keymap (its default profiles were interfering) and the new wireless remote interface that is native to Windows 7. Once I customized the default profile in LM Remote Keymap to only do what I wanted it to do (launch MP with the "Firefly" button) and got win 7's native wireless remote interface to look for input from a different x10 channel, everything worked fine.

I've recently upgraded to win7-64bit... Everything installed - windows update found the drivers for the firefly... But the configuration in mediaportal configuration doesn't really work anymore... Although some buttons work, I've set the power button to have no function (system always on) but when pressing the button the system tries to shutdown anyway... Am I missing anything - do i really have to install the firefly software to get control??? That wasn't necesseary before...
