EventGhost

Thanks Brett, it's much clear now. I was guessing that you must be talking about EG MCE plugin but wanted to make sure. Thanks again. Looks like, I have no other way to run XBMC as normal user (other than admin) for remote to be work using EG. Cheers!!!

I run the program as administrator. Is that right? You should be fine then (it's actually a problem for me though).

Hi there,
This is my first post; I did search a bit but didn't the answer I'm looking for. So apologize if it's already asked.
