[QUOTE="warriv666, post: 144397, member: 24606"] I puchased a Medion computer (ALDI) version, running Windows Vista Home Premium that came in shipped with an X10 remote. I installed MP on the machine (sure beats the MCE that was included in the Vista system) but one of the problems I had, which was also visible from other users using this remote was that it would either not work, or only half with MP. Also, the so-called "green button" always kept linked to the MCE application. Yesterday, I managed to get the full extend of my remote operational, including the green button staring MP rather than MCE. I also have set up my system to play MP3+G karaoke files, using a plugin for DirectX that then allows you to start the CDG file, which is just a video-like synchronized sing-along lyrics of the MP3 that is playing. One of the problems I face here was that the file started, but only showed up on the screen in the mini-view left corner. A nice Girder-like piece of software to which I found a reference on the board, helped me accomplish the lot, without having to uninstall any of the drivers. I just changed the settings for my remote in the comtrol panel to accept incoming events only from a channel that was not the same as my remote, then switched off all the remote plugins in MP and installed EVENTGHOST: [url]http://www.eventghost.org/wiki/EventGhost:About[/url] The software learned all the keys I pressed and with simple "Emulate Keystroke" events, using the keys that are visible in the general settings tab in the MP Configuration app. Hope this cen be of use.
