I used the X10 Mouse Remote for some years which worked fine with XP but it does not support Vista so I have to look for something new now with which I can control my pc's music player in Vista, I am not using Windows Media Player but have another music software, any ideas please?

I am finding some remotes which work with vista and some specific media players such as this

How can I tell if it will work with eventghost so I can control my media player please?

The Gyration remotes work fine with Vista. They emulate a keyboard and mouse, and you can use the HID events to handle the special keys that don't map directly to regular keystrokes. The Gyration remotes are also the only remotes with a built in mouse... not clunky mouse emulation, moving things around with the arrows, but real mouse movement by waving the remote around in the air.

I had spoken to the support people at Gyration a while back but they said their remotes can only work with the windows media players. My music player is a Radio/DJ software which features 2 decks

If you can take a look at the top left menu you will see the regular player controls [Play, pause, stop, next track previous track], those functions are what I need to control from a remote and also the pc's volume control. Do you think the Gyration can work with Eventghost to allow me those controls?
