TalkJesus.com Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Greetings, I have currently Windows 7 RC1 , Build 7100 64bit Ultimate. This is a fresh install, not an upgrade. Problem is, many of the media center remote buttons do not work such as: pause play skip/forward next/previous chapter stop I'm using a genuine Microsoft remote and receiver, not an imitation. I've had the same problem in about several different builds of W7 that I've tested over the last few months. All were fresh installs, 64bit. Anyone else have this problem? It also has nothing to do with the DVD movies I've tried, I've tried several different ones anyway so its not the DVD problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_notm Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Have you tried unplugging it then plugging it back in? I was having some problems with mine just now and that solved all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc_Madness Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Silly question, but does MCE have focus while you're using the remote? The remote just sends normal keypresses like Space / Enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalkJesus.com Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks for the fast replies. That's what I love about Neowin. First, I did already try unplugging the receiver and back in. Never solved the problem, but that was a past build. Same thing again on 7100. Also, yes the MCE window is 'on top', in focus. The strange thing is, some functions work such as 'ok' (or select), DVD menu, back but not the basic functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Silly question, but does MCE have focus while you're using the remote? The remote just sends normal keypresses like Space / Enter. A bit off topic: The remote just sends app commands like "MEDIA_PPLAY", and not keyboard keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfuk Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've not had any problems with the remote in any of the builds i've tried, since build 7000 x64. MC must have focus, not a problem when run full screen. I hate that when full screen you cannot move focus to an other screen. dfuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pc_Madness Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 A bit off topic: The remote just sends app commands like "MEDIA_PPLAY", and not keyboard keys. Not entirely, Ok is just enter for example, the arrow keys are normal arrow keys, Back is backspace. MEDIA_PPLAY is actually a keyboard key as well, its what media controls on keyboards send.

TalkJesus.com Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just for the record, those basic functions do work if I manually press them using the mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwizard88 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I just installed 7100, and I too have Media Center issues. I don't have a remote, but it manages to choke up my system, which has 3 gigs of RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
