EG will not run

Post by MrWolf »

When I install EG on my son's MCE2005 PC, it appears to install ok, but then at the very end when I get the dialog with the checkbox asking if I want to run EG after you click finish, I get a Windows "bong" sound and I get the same sound if I try to launch it. It never creates the start menu group, either. I am logged on as an admin user, too. The Windows install is fairly clean and updated. There's a couple games on it, but other than that he takes care of his machine and doesn't junk it up.

Suggestions? BTW, build 1262.

Might check your anti-virus and anti-spyware applications installed, EG has been false positive before. Basically since EG can pull events from keystrokes many softwares assume it is a keylogger.

I personally have EG on MCE05 running with SageTV.

Stripped all that, but thanks for the suggestion. Uninstalled, reinstalled, made sure registry entries were gone, etc. Just doesn't make sense. Right now I've got him using a Firefly Mini and everything works except the special buttons like Menu, Guide, etc. Is there any way to make it fully work with Sage without EventGhost?
