Hey guys,
I have an HP Pavilion DV9417ca Laptop with Vista Premium SP1.

The problem I'm having is the remote control will not launch Media Center with the green button
(the one that came with my laptop and is stored in a slot at the side of the laptop). The remote
does work for everything else, QuickPlay, etc and will work with all the commands once Media Center
is running.

I installed MCE Customizer and was playing with some of the settings and this has caused the problem
(it work before this time). I uninstalled MCE Customizer, however, Media Center still won't launch
from the remote control.

Thank you for any help.

Cheers
Paul

btw, I also posted this at the Green Button forum but still no go... they are very helpful though.

You need to re-install MCE Customizer and try to restore everything back to
its default settings. Simply uninstalling MCE Customizer won't restore the
settings that you changed.

:( Still didn't work.
I have Novi Remote on my PDA too and that didn't launch it either, so it's not the remote button
that is not functioning.

any other ideas

Paul
