With Eventghost you can get start MP with the remote. The Eventghost controller loads in the start of Windows and you can configure to start MP with either the green button or the power button, ot any button you prefer. Of course can configure another button (Home button for example) to Stand by (suspend) the PC and with the same wake up it.
Ok thanks I will give a try to eventghost, I was a bit lazy with eventghost because now the remote works almost perfect out of the box, but have the start and wake up problems.
If you need some help with Eventghost, I can help you send you my configuration by e-mail
