[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1169610, member: 141969"] I think that this is to be expected. :( When you plug in your Ortek/Hama IR receiver, Windows thinks that you have plugged in another keyboard and another mouse. The Ortek/Hama IR receiver injects keystrokes into the system, in response to button presses on the remote. The piece of MP code that is enabled when you select "Centarea HID" traps those keystrokes, and translates WMC keyboard shortcuts into MP keyboard shortcuts. At least, I [I]think[/I] that that is how it works (I am not familiar with the relevant MP code). I would be surprised if the Ortek/Hama has ever worked correctly. :confused: Unfortunately, I recently overwrote my MP 1.9 partition with MP 1.13-pre, so I cannot easily check what happened on MP 1.9. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
