EG causes problem launching XBMC

Post by Livin »

When using EventGhost and launching XBMC 10 - it seems to force XMBC into compatibility mode since XBMC detects Windows as XP, not Win7 x64 as it really is.

not working properly through EventGhost (simply using the EXE)...

Any idea how to fix EG? (I'm using a BAT file now as a work around but it seems that there is some problem launching the EXE properly I think should be fixed)
setup... XBMC, W7MC for DVR & Live OTA TV, JRMC for multi-zone audio, EG, MiCasaVerde Vera3, USB-UIRT IR receiver, Harmony remote, 5.2 home theater system

Only thing I can think of, are you running EG in XP compatibility mode?
