[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 146750, member: 49539"] Based on your recommendation, I tried installing the MCE Replacement Plug-In, Driver & Tray. In fact, it works better than MPtray, as far as giving MP focus after start is concerned. Unfortunately, I had a number of strange side effects: My (RF) keyboard commands (for my music, my pictures, etc.) stopped working. The documentation says that in the case of IR keyboards, this would be casued by the replacement driver, so I followed the instructions for deinstalling it, but that didn't solve the problem. Instead, I now have the problem of double keypresses, which the documentation says will occur if the replacement driver is not used and can be eliminated by clearing the default configuration. Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't say how to invoke the configuration program, and I haven't found it in the start menu. Interestingly enough the Green Button still works to launch MP, so I guess the replacement driver isn't needed for this. Lastly, my remote control power button hasn't worked correctly since installing the MCE Replacement Plug-In, with or without the replacement driver. :( P.S. I got this working for a while with the standard driver, disabling the MCE Replacement Plug-In and just using the MPTray supplied with the MCE Replacement Plug-In. Then today, I started to have problems with focus again. I turned off the MP built-in support for MCE, turned on the Replacement Plug-In and removed the MCE Remote mappings. At first, this seemed to "heal" the focus problems. The MS taskbar still showed in the foreground, but at least MP responded to the remote. Then I started having the focus problem again, even with the MCE Replacement Plug-In enabled! Go figure! With the MCE Plug-In I am still getting double button-presses, as well as unintentional activation of other programs (probably a result of the mouse functions). I guess I'll try one of the other solutions discussed in this thread. P.P.S. Now, with MCE Replacement Plug-In disabled, native MP support for MCE remote enabled and the MPtray from the MCE Replacement Plug-In installed, the beahviour is back to what I would expect! [/QUOTE]
