MCE Remote Back + Volume buttons don't work (DirectInput is Disabled)

[grunger106]

When I first installed GameEx I used to launch it from within VistaMCE and pressing the back button from the main menu of GameEx used to relauch MCE.

Also pressing the back buttons from within a game used to quit the game and drop you back to gameex.

The volume buttons used to work too!

The remote still works to navigate around the GameEx interface.

I have ensured the the Use DirectInput for the keyboard is disabled in the config.

Any ideas

Thanks

If you have custom controls or IPAC/Slikstik enabled this also turns on DirectInput. Is that what it might be?

No IPAC/Slikstik, I don't think I have any custom controls......

Pretty much a default install, with the different configs done on each emu.

I did have to do a DX Redist update for one of them, dolphin I think, but thats about all I can think of.

Is there any way to force DirectInput off, or anything else that could cause this issue?

I cant think of anything else other than the remote drivers not being installed.

Did you upgrade from an earlier version, or make any other changes on the machine?

I've done a couple of GameEx upgrades via the autoupdate, other than that no real changes that I can think of (As its a MCE box, not much else happens on it)

Maybe I'll just reinstall GameEx from scratch and see if that does the trick.

Does the MCE remote require standalone drivers? I have never needed them before, I thought they were part of the MCE enabled breeds of Windows

There used to be issue with drivers on xp media center, but not with Vista I dont think. Anyway you said it was working so its probably not that.

Yes, the remote works, I'm wondering if one of the DX Redists did something to DirectInput....

The remote doesn't seem to want to quit 3rd party apps (GameEx, PowerDVD BluRay Ed, and the Emus)

Works Fine for navigation etc, just can't use back to quit.

OK, well GameEx normally checks for the browser back key (navigate back in web browser). I cant test here right now, but I know need you need Map Keys turned on. The Home/MCE Button normally should quit GameEx and apps too if you want to return to MCE, but you need that setting set under tweaks/performance.

Is the Tweaks/Perf option a gameex config setting?

Thanks for all your help on this + great product by the way!
