    Hello

    I'm running MCE on Windows XP SP2 and when trying to use the remote control while watching a DVD, the stop, pause, rew, fwd, play... doesn't work.
    Vol doesn't even seem to respond.

    Other buttons like the Green button with the windows logo and the navigation keys and Ok button seem to respond!!

    Any clue what's the problem?

    Thanks a lot and I look forward to receive from someone!

    Regards

    Are you watching with the media center or with external app like powerdvd/windvd? Not sure on windows xp, but in vista only mce is supported during play, not external players.
