As you can see in my specs, I have the ATI Remote Wonder.
I have enabled the screen saver in windows XP, and ticked MP to "Use Screen Saver"

When the screen saver activates, I can't un-activate it, wake it, whatever so I can see the MP menus etc using the remote. If I hit a key on the keyboard or mouse it works properly.

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks.......

Any help here would be SOOOO great. :D Do people not use screen saver, and just use hibernate instead? I like the idea of using the screen saver, cause I setup mine to use "My Pictures" as a slideshow.

I've tried all the buttons on my ATI Remote wonder, and none of them wake it. If I use the keyboard, or move the mouse it wakes just fine.

    Same problem on my end, and it's definitely an MP-problem, because without MP Windows just shows the screen.

    Come on, someone must have an idea :)

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi there;

    Did you find a solution for this?, I have the UltraX remote and it doesn't wake from screen saver also..., just activating "caps lock" on the keyboard is enough to wake MP from screen saver, but none of the remote buttons is able to do it :(
