| | Media Center won't launch using the remote control... Please Help The problem I'm having is the remote control will not launch Media Center with the green button (the one that came with my laptop and is stored in a slot at the side of the laptop). The remote does work for everything else, QuickPlay, etc and will work with all the commands once Media Center is running. I installed MCE Customizer and was playing with some of the settings and this has caused the problem (it work before this time). I uninstalled MCE Customizer, however, Media Center still won't launch from the remote control. Thank you for any help. Cheers Paul -- HP Pavilion DV9417ca Entertainment Laptop AMD Turion 64 x 2 core 1.8GHz 160GB/2GB/NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 17"Wscreen/Wifi/BT/Built-in cam/RC Vista Premium x32-bit SP1 iPAQ 2490 WM5 |

You may need to check your startup programs. The remote I use here gets its green button functionality via a startup program that runs in the background and makes sense of the signals. Perhaps there's a similar one for your setup that's somehow become disabled. Start > msconfig > Startup Start > msconfig > Services (+Hide all Microsoft Services) -- Jon |
