Howto Reenable hid in Windows 7 64b

Post by bambou51 »

I just installed eventghost to try to override some buttons of my mce remote in xbmc.
When installing xbmc plugin I was asked to disable hid and I said ok.
Now after reboot my remote control isn't working anymore on my computer...

You needed to save the plugin configuration with that enable hid checkbox unchecked. This will restore the original settings. And you probably need to reboot afterwards.

There isn't a real easy way, but it isn't too late.

The issue is you have to set some registry keys back to their original values.

Method #1: You can install EG again to open the plugin configuration, then let it restore the keys, then uninstall EG again.
Method #2: You can restore the registry keys with regedit. More info here. If that post doesn't make sense to you, I'd go with Method #1....

Sorry, but those are your best bets. Good luck,
Brett
