[QUOTE="iancalderban, post: 365840, member: 85629"] I use a gyration which also shows up as generic HID. I used eventghost. - use EG 0.36 or later (beta versions) which have MP plugin - add the MP plugin in EG. In MP, set remote to "generic HID" mode. remove keyboard plugin (I found it conflicted). - add a generic HID plugin for your remote in EG. In my case it shows up 7 times . I needed two of them but didn't know which. so trial and error. press buttons and see which ones register as hid codes (left hand windows in EG). if nothing shows up, its not registering. - start pressing buttons on your remote and see if EG registers them - once you found the code for the green button, add a "start program" macro in EG, configure it to point to MP .exe file, and drag the HID code that you found for the green button to it. - press the button and see what EG does. hopefully it launched MP. - you can add the same hid codes into the mp plugin section of EG, it will make all the different functions of MP work right with your remote. so the green button can go to the home screen when MP is active. I also had to disable (actuall rename the eh*.exe's, nothing else worked) microsoft MCE to stop that launching as well from the green button but thats another story. HTH Ian Ian [/QUOTE]
