gcdlz · 2013-05-22 05:50

Has anyone been able to get an mce remote to work with Windows 8? If so could you point me in the direction of instructions to do so.
I had it working perfectly in Windows 7, but no go on the new computer with Windows 8.

MCE remote works perfectly on my Win 8 32bit system. What are the problems you are facing?

I would like to assign the 'Clear' button to Alt+F4 and I just can't figure out how.

Please find my MCE remote registry settings below. (It's standard except for I changed 'Power Toggle' to Wake only):

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da]

Wow... This is fantastic!!! Finally a tool that is easy to use. I have been looking for sth like this.

I just couldn't work with XBMCCustomRegis.

Thank you so much for all your work!

Hi, I have installed XBMCCustomRegis but couldn't get the start button working on windows 8. When I press start, it just launches the home screen. As per the instructions, it should launch xbmc and toggle with home screen. Can someone please let me know how to get this working?

Also when I get the start screen, most times it is not focused. I can't navigate it.
