Re: Eventghost, Windows 7, and my MCE Remote won't play nice

Needing admin is because the original plugin was written for XP, before UAC etc.. In Vista/Win7 you need admin privileges to even connect to the device. That's the advantage of my other plugin.

Brett I understand that. I tried your plugin, but for some reason, it won't work for me. I've had to ...

Re: Eventghost, Windows 7, and my MCE Remote won't play nice

Might I recommend something?

I had better luck using this receiver vs. my terrible original one. I use it with Boxee, which is very similar. Interesting. I'd seen that mentioned in some threads while trying to troubleshoot my current problem. Before you made the switch ...

Re: Eventghost, Windows 7, and my MCE Remote won't play nice

I'm finally at my wits end. I've come to the conclusion that its just not going to work for multiple reasons. For one thing, the only time EG will accept commands from the remote is if its in Admin mode. I tell it to start up as an admin in the properties of the .exe file and it doesn't start at ...

Re: Eventghost, Windows 7, and my MCE Remote won't play nice

I'm really not sure what it could be. This is a fresh Windows 7 install. The only thing I really have on this system is Google Chrome. Are there any programs that are known to cause conflicts with EG?

Eventghost, Windows 7, and my MCE Remote won't play nice

I am using the latest version of EG. 0.3.7.r1462. I have scoured Google and unless I am missing something, I just can't seem to get my devices to cooperate. I recently upgraded to Windows 7. Previously I was running Vista. I used a SIIG Vista MCE remote to control XBMC. I setup the remote just fine ...
