Thanks for looking into it Amos, glad its not just me. Hopefully Tom will be able to shed some light on whats causing this. Cheers, Wookierama

As far as I can tell you really need Media Center to use the MCE remote properly with the normal drivers. However you can get alternative drivers which allow you to customise every button on the remote for use with XP. Check out the following link to get your remote working on XP using a free program called HIP. http://www.byremote.com.au/Hip/mce_remote_faq.htm Its been working great for me with Digital TV, however I am having problems getting it to work with GameEX. So let me know if you get it working with GameEX! Cheers, Wookierama

I hope Im not the only one having this problem, but I cant seem to find any reference to this in the forum. Ive been using the Alpha Blue theme for a while (great theme), however since upgrading to the latest version of GameEx (7.09) its started crashing on me. Whenever I select a menu item on the left side bar (ie Sort by name, Playlist/More, etc) GameEX exits with the errors shown below. Its the same for all the Alpha themes (Olive, Blue and Red). Id appreciate any ideas, because Im stumped. All the other themes seem to be working fine, so Im at a loss to explain why this on no longer works properly.
