Hi, I Just started to use EventGhost on my HTPC, but I'm having a problem at the startup.
I have EventGhost set to autostart and it loads up my .xml and everything.
But when I start my Xbox 360 wireless gamepad after EventGhost has started the gamepad won't work, but it works if I start EventGhost while the gamepad is turned on it.
I have tried with both the Joystick and Generic HID addon, but I can't get this to work.

Startup problem with wireless Xbox360 gamepad
Re: Startup problem with wireless Xbox360 gamepad
Are you perhaps using XBMC? If so, this is not related to EventGhost.
What you mean is: "I need to sync (turn on) my wireless Xbox 360 controller BEFORE starting XBMC."
The explanation would be that XBMC only checks for gamepads on startup. When your wireless controller isn't turned on, it is not recognized in windows either:
When it is turned on you will see this in windows:
... and you will see an event like this in EventGhost:
.
I currently have a "Wait some time" of 5 seconds set in which I need to sync my Xbox 360 Wireless controller. This is an idiotic solution as failing to turn on the controller within this time span will have you reboot your HTPC.
Question to EventGhost experts: Is there a way to wait for a specific event?
