Edit BIOS or MCE replacement driver?

Post by spritemv »

When initially programming my Anyware GP-IR02BK I ran into problems since most of the buttons were executing Windows Media Center functions. In my search to solve this I stumbled upon two solutions... the MCE Replacement driver and a simple registry hack. After reading a forum post (http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/ir-se ... ndex3.html), it seems that the registry edit is actually the preferred method now and it works great. However, every time I reboot my computer, the deleted entries reappear in the registry forcing me to delete them again and reboot a second time for the changes to take effect. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening or have a better solution? I actually tried installing the replacement driver as well, but could not get it to install.

Any help is appreciated!

Might be something to do with your sytem restore function.
Switch it off, change your reg entry, restart and see if it stays this time.

Turning off system restore seems to prevent it from reverting. Thanks for the advice. That seems to have done the trick!
