IR Remote Control Problem
I have an infra-red remote control that I've been using for a couple of years, I only use for system volume and play, pause & stop on VLC player. Looks like this: http://wiki.xbmc.org/images/1/1d/Hama_mce_remote.jpg
It stopped working for the volume and play, pause & stop functions but still works for all the mouse functions, and the IR receiver still flashes when you press any button on it. I've spent the last 2 days trying to figure out why it wont work anymore and I'm stumped. The remote works fine on my xp laptop so there's nothing wrong with the remote or IR receiver itself.
I've tried un-installing it and re-installing it, even tried system restore to before it stopped working, still refuses to work
Anyone got any ideas?
Edit: Apparently this type of remote works by simulating key strokes. ShowKey.exe doesn't see any keystrokes coming from the remote on my windows 7 machine, is something blocking them?
