[QUOTE="goulin, post: 281162, member: 77069"] Hi, Any luck in getting the PC to wake up from standby using the remote? I read a post that basically says you can't do it via a remote that plugs into the tuner, because the slot the tuner is in (i.e. PCI) does not have power supplied to it when the PC is in standby, hence the remote won't work. The PC only suppies power to the IR and USB ports when in standby (although I don't know what the significance of the 'Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby' option has in Device Mangler). Edit from yesterday: I'll eat my words, I got the remote to turn on the PC from power off to an on state. Although it was a little flakey - I don't know whether it was the sensor, or something else, but the PC wouldn't turn on after I had unplugged it from the power and then plugged it in again. It worked all the time though when I had shut down my PC and attempted to turn it on again after a short period of time. So it is prompting me to think that maybe it doesn't work, and the reason it was working for me was that the PCI card still had power from when it was previously on? I don't know, just clutching at straws. I'll try again when I get home tonight and see how it goes. <--- Update... well, power on definitely works with the Leadtek remote and my motherboard. My setting is S3 and with PME on (it is Option 2 in the Advanced section of the Leadtek manual). Meanwhile, I am in the process of rebuilding my PC, because MP keeps on crashing when I start it. I guess I should read the instructions first before I start tampering with all the settings. :P Also, I spoke to someone I know using MP and he said that getting the remote configured can be quite tricky. He also suggested trying out Girder ([url=http://www.promixis.com/]Promixis[/url]) - which basically allows you to program Windows to do anything based on a button being pressed on a remote. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
