[WINDOWS] HOW-TO use MCE remote in XBMC under Windows the easy way

I have an issue that after a week of standby/resume my genuine ms mce remote green button doesen't want to CTRL+SHIFT+W anymore. The little app shows that only ctrl+shif is pressed without W. Logoff/logon solves it. Plug/unplug the reciever doesent. What should i do to prevent this issue?
Using a recent dharma svn and win 7 x64 Ult.
No idea where to start.

I really have no idea how to solve this, but are you using my reg file. Because my reg file does not send CTRL+SHFT+W . It sends CTRL+SHFT+X and for it to work you need an xbmc shourtcut in your desktop with the "CTRL+SHFT+X" shortcut key.

Maybe there are some app that modifies your registry with time, make sure you use a good relaible windows registry cleaner for windows 7 x64, unfortunately I can not recommend any because I do not know of any compatible with x64 at the moment.

I do use your reg file but i modified that W key myself. The setup is clean win 7 install with xbmc, winrar only.

This is kinda weird! I have not experienced this problem in the past.

Just wanting to know if anyone can explain how to make one of the remote keys rotate photo's when viewing them, I thought select (like xbox), but any button will do? R on the keyboard does it now, but no remote button to do this?
I know xbmc is meant to auto rotate like windows does by some extention to the file or something, but its not. i mostly have JPG photo's.

Just tested with the pics, the Remote RWD button should already do what you want. No modification needed

Yep, it is even more insulting for me being an IT professional myself and not being able to figure it out myself. I'll try to change the letter w to x and see if it does help. It's weird enough to have a try. I'll post the resulty but it may take a week to find the flaw...

Not sure changing the W to X will pull it, but anything possible lol! make sure your PC/Mediacentre drivers are up to date.

Yeah, but iv'e seen way too many dumb solutions that works on real problems...

For reg cleaners and optimizers, I use CCleaner and a tool called NTREGOPT which both work great. I have Win 7 64 bit.

Thank you. I keep my fingers crossed.
