I would deactivate automatic update and downgrade to 7.20.... Set Frotview to "never" or "automatic" in iMon and try. There are some advanced options in Cybrdisplay plugin also (like restart iMon after MP exit etc), try them. I have no problems if MP and iMon run together.

I have got it work. Short description from memory:
iMon basics:
iMon Manager controls 2 things: IR receiver and case display. If you use the CybrDisplay Plugin inside MP to control Display from MP, you have to disable the display control in iMon (or close iMon): "Front View" set to never (down under FrontView/general/). If I close iMon, my RC does not work but the display works in MP. If you do not need the RC-Function of iMon, you still have to install iMon because of the display driver (but it does not need to run).
1. do not install Antec software. Get iMon 7.020.0502 from their website ::
2. Install iMon and CybrDisplay v.782 Plugin for Mediaportal, configure it as described in its thread (choose display type and connection, and iMon Driver; see 2nd screenshot)
in iMon Manager you have to do the followings:
- set MCE as remote device
- map the left, right, up, down and OK keys of the RC in Settings/Windows commands/ (or like that, i have it in german). Deactivate the rest (to avoid conflicts with other apps)
- add PowerDVD and Mediaportal under Settings/Application commands to create a profile, you can delete rest if you want (I had Internet Explorer, Powerpoint etc there; see screenshot in german)
- map your RC-Keys to the functions you need (just check out the keyboard shortcut lists of MP and PDVD) or load mediaportal.imo and pdvd.imo file (.imo config files attached as zip!, import them and modify them to your liking!!!!)
- choose your default sound device to get controlled through the volume knob of the Antec case (this does not work with Vistas normal driver, you have to install the dedicated driver of the manufacturer like Realtek etc; my setting is "realtek hd audio HDMI")
Imon switches between the profiles according to the application in the foregroung ("in focus"). If you load PDVD from MP, it switches to PDVD mode, on return to MP it switches back to MP mode. It works great!!
needed files:
- iMon 7.020.0502 from their website
- CybrDisplay v.782 (latest from MP), configure it for the iMon Driver 7.20.0520
Notes: there are a lot of possibilities to fine tune RC or display, do it yourself, take your time. I do not want to describe everything, just get you roll. e.g. I like to map subtitle and audio toggle to the keys "channel up and down" as you se in my .imo files.
>map the left, right, up, down and OK keys of the RC in Settings/Windows commands/ (or like that, i have it in >german). Deactivate the rest (to avoid conflicts with other apps)
not working. get the error that its not allowed or something.
followed the guide. have importet the mediaportal .imho in imon.
its not working. can t even move with the remote. if mp is startet.
have the recommendet imon version.
CybrDisplay v.782 seem to not existing
the latest version seem to be CybrDisplayPlugin_05_08_2008. its only a dll file. no version number or anything.
so i must use still the mce-receiver and can t use the receiver that is build in, in my imon-lcd-display;(
