Guys, I'm having a HELL of a shitty time trying to get this to work.
I'm running Windows 7.
I've run the installer from the site (latest version), however it only works the first time after I restart the system.
If I shut down the PC and restart again, the green button no longer works to start XBMC.
I've also noticed that the custom keymaps in advancedsettings.xml and keyboard.xml no longer works when this happens either (so my 'back' button on the remote no longer skips the video backward by 7 seconds, and goes straight to the menu instead).
It's almost as if every time I restart, the registry goes back to how it was!
I don't have any other problems that could be doing this. I've scanned the system with Malwarebytes and everything is clean.
What am I doing wrong??

djcorvus,
Are you a local admin on the machine you have XBMC installed on? When you install the installer if you right click and choose Run as Administrator (might have to hold shift down when you right click) does running the install this way stick after a reboot?
Are you able to commit the changes to the registery simply by running the .reg file (should be on the sourceforge web page from 1st post - I can link if you'd like).
Not sure why the changes aren't sticking to the files in the XBMC userdata folder (advancedsettings.xml and keyboard.xml). Do you have anything set to run on startup? Perhaps XBMC launcher from another thread by another user is overwriting your changes on boot up (it shouldn't, just a thought).
Go into your Userdata folder and the keymaps folder, is there a backup file of your keymaps.xml file?

Hey all, I'm sorry if this is specifically in the thread, but I searched a number of keywords and couldn't find it so here goes:
I have a Wesena e5 with the included IR receiver. This receiver is a RC 260, not RC 6 and the eHome drive is NOT present in device manager. I read on the xbmccustomregis website that a "hack" would be supplied in the forum but I haven't found it. That's what I'm requesting? Any hack/idea for how I can get the eHome driver to work with my IR receiver seems like it would make my life a million times easier...
Thanks in advance

Use the mce mapper tool in my signature to set the power button to shutdown.

Thanks baijuxavior, but I would like that the power button suspend the pc and wake up the pc. How can I do this?.
I'm very, very noob, i'm sorry. Can you tell me how I can do this in your mce mapper tool ?

Suspending the pc is possible using mce remote, but wake up from full shutdown state is not possible.

Hey, can I use eventghost to map a key from my MCE remote to a batch process (say 1) but this still work beautifully as it has been?
