    Post images of the remote control.
    When you install the drivers for the usb receiver, what is the name in device manager?

    You might want to try the following

    MP Config -> Remotes -> Enable MCE remote control
    Save & Close
    Run mediaportal, report which if any buttons work

    MP Config -> Remotes Disable MCE remote control, enable HID Device
    Save & Close
    Run mediaportal, report which if any buttons work

    Try what I suggested first

    Have you got any software with the remote, when you have it installed, what is it called in device manager?

    Otherwise you need a program that will translate your remote buttons into key strokes.

    However, I'd just buy a new remote, it's so old your gonna always have problems probably.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution.

Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    You can always try, select any window, turn off the Media Portal, change the ID of the selected one to the desired one (plugin) and check.

Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
