Vista + MCE remote + XBMC = Nightmare....

If you use my xml from above it should work well to control XBMC for you using a MCE remote and EG. The tutorials need to be cleaned up a bit because EG has changed since most of them were written.

Ok so after reading this and some other posts here. I got Evenghost and my Pinicale remote to control 90% of the things in XBMC.
What I want now is to be either able to fire up XBMC when I press the green button on my remote or media center keyboard or disable the button all together.
I plan to use my HTPC soley fro playback of my DVD titles stoe on teh HD. It will be on constantly and will have a simple power management scheme. If it crashes for whatever reason, I will have XBMC start again when the computer reboots.

Can this be done?

I just used IR Server Suite for my MCE remote http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mce-re...lugin-165/ - It maps all buttons as per the IRSSmap.xml file and can disable media centre functions. 2 minutes to install - Done.

Is there any reason why the windows version of XBMC can't have support for the MCE remote natively?

It seems by far the most popular control device.

Anyway to get this to work with Dual monitors? I've installed it and it works perfectly but XMBC keeps opening on my primary monitor

Not sure on this one though you should be able to do it via the ATI / Nvidia driver.
