    I have the GP-IR01BK that I’m using with my M17X R2 on Windows 7. After I got my R2 I did a clean Win7 Ult load. Since then, the Up/Down/Left/Right and OK buttons have stopped working. When I press them they appear to be transmitting but the signal is not recognized by the PC. Other buttons, such as the Media Center “Green Button”, the volume controls, the standby button and the Video/Music/Photos/etc buttons all work fine. However, with the directional and OK buttons not working I cannot navigate the Media Center interface.

    For example, when the remote worked the up/down/left/right buttons on the remote appeared to map to the up/down/left/right keys on the keyboard. They no longer perform this function in Media Center or in other applications, but the Windows Key + Letter shortcuts appear to still work.

    Any ideas?

    TIA
