I have a logitech dinovo mini and have run the autohotkey script (AutoHotkey - Free Mouse and Keyboard Macro Program with Hotkeys and AutoText) and all of the media key work. My problem is that the green media center button does not work. I have gone to the config under third party checks and disabled the windows media center services and checked the box for mptray to start automatically. Mp tray is running but whenever I press the green media button I get a message saying that windows cant open media center due to a group policy setting. It looks like windows is doing what it's supposed to do but what do I need to do to get mediaportal started using the green button?

I've searched the forums but haven't found any other similar posts.

Thanks for your help.

Stupid question, does a reboot help.

Not stupid at all...I had not rebooted. But I just tried it and it still doesn't work. Thanks for the idea though.

Using autohotkey, can you not start MP directly through mediaportal.exe, rather than MPTray starting MP

Having never used MPtray, I'm not quite sure how it works, but I can start MP by clicking on the icon on the desktop (mediaportal.exe). The issue is that the green button on the keyboard still tries to start windows media player and because the policy disabled running that app I get the error.

Is there some mapping that goes on somewhere that once media player is disabled that media portal is now the application that gets started? I had assumed that was through MPtray somehow but I can't find any other info.

Thanks for your response
