Mega 865 Pro Remote Control and MCE

Hello peeps,
Does anyone know if there is a way of getting the input from the remote control on the 865 Pro to emulate keyboard presses.
I use Album Player (www.albumplayer.com) and you can set it up so it will change tracks etc.. by keyboard presses, it would be handy if this could be done by remote control.
(I've since seen that there is a post in this link https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=91685.0 that might help, but if anyone has any tips in the meantime let me know)
Thanks

Stu, you obviously didnt properly read the System Control Manager thread that I created. 
niblet,
yes you can quite easily do it, please see the System Control Manager thread created by me. It details how to do it.
cheers

  • Remote control and MCE remote on Windows

    I am having issues with the remote control app on the Tablet S1 and MCE remotes on Windows 7 (64-bit). After learning the buttons for the MCE remote, pressing the same button more than once from the app does not do anything. For example, if I press the Up button the first time, it works fine. But if I press the Up button again, nothing happens. I have verified that the original MCE remote works as expected, and I have also verified that the tablet and the remote control app works with the MCE receiver connected to Ubuntu 11.10. Is anyone else running into this problem? How will the remote control app get updated (via the market or from system update)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Welcome to the User Discussion Forums
    If you have issues with the UP button, you can reprogram just the UP button without starting over
    Please follow this guide to re Learn an existing button within your Remote

    If relearning the UP button does not resolve your issue we suggest calling in for assistance.

  • Elite Pro Remote Control and

    Hi there!
    First of all: I already searched the forums, but was not able to find what i was looking for.
    As I got back to my XP after using Vista I recognized that there is no "Creative Enterteinment Center" for XP, which was necessary for the usage of the remote control under Vista.
    So... what now?

    Honestly I can not believe that there is no way to solve this problem.
    I am sure that there is somebody out there that uses the Elite Pro with XP who's RC works fine.
    I already tried to install that MediaSource-Program, but I have not found any options to activate the RC.
    In the meantime I found out, that there has to be a RCMAN.EXE running, which is responsible for the RC.
    But now after I have installed everything I could, I ask myself where the heck that task is. Which program runs that task?

  • Remote control and MSI PC-DTV Mega Sky 580

    Hello,
    I bought one of these recently and initially had problems when installed. It would initially run fine but after I closed the program down and restarted it the PC would just reboot.
    I was using the front USB ports so I moved it to the rear ports and removed and reinstalled the drivers/software. It runs just fine now and the quality of the picture superb. I've rerun the device over a few days and all seems okay. I appear to have all the available programs from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter although this morning I booted up and the screen was blank. I realised I had last looked at BBC4 and of course thats only a part time channel!
    I've looked at the MSI site at the drivers/Presto PVR updates but I am not sure which of the four I should download and use. In fact as the device is working is there any advantage in doing this?
    Lastly... I'm not sure if this is a problem or not but the remote control doesn't work. Reading through the forum I'm wondering if I have the wrong end of the stick and the remote only works with Microsofts MCE. I have Microsoft XP SP2. Does the Mega Sky 580 not have a built in IR sensor and am I wasting my time pointing the remote at it and swearing?

    Hi,
    Okay I have the bundled Presto PVR software so the unit must be faulty. I thought that the remote control and bundled Presto PVR would only work if installed on a PC where the operating system was Media Centre Edition.
    So the remote control and bundled Presto PVR should work if installed on a PC with Windows XP SP2?
    It looks a bit like I'll have to get a different make. I tried to rescan the channels last night because I was missing UKTV History and now I cannot get BBC1,2,3,4 or radios 3,4,6,7. I get loads of duplicates though like 5 Q's 4 ITV3's. All this on the same aerial I was using yesterday.
    I even tried it with an indoor/attic aerial that works nicely with my other freeview (set-top style not PC) boxes but no matter what I tried I just get the same duplicated list of a few channels. Even tried it with the indoor/attack aerial upside down, back to front! Same list of 63 channels but most duplicated.
    They all work fine but I would prefer a complete set

  • Mega 865 Pro and Nlite - SCM Issues

    Hello, I have just got a Mega 865 Pro and have installed Windows XP on the system using nlite http://www.nliteos.com to strip windows down to the bare minimum, the boot times are great and it goes in to and out of hibernation is seconds, the problem is that I have stripped out one component that allows the System Control Manager to perform properly, my front LED display stays blank, even if I fire up the Intervideo Hometheatre it does nothing and all the front buttons do not respond. Everything else runs fine though
    Has anyone tried out nlite and does anyone know which component of windows I've removed that I should have left in?
    Thanks
    Niblet

    I'll try installing the new SCM program tonight, though the original ones that came on the disc didn't work (they did on a standard install of XP that I did)
    I'll post my findings later.

  • System Control Manager on Mega 865 Pro

    Hi,
    I Have a Mega 865 Pro, I would list whats in it but do not consider that any of this would help.
    The system has the System Control Manager software installed which allows for you to use the buttons on the front of the system within Windows XP, if the software is not installed or running then one of the problems is when you use the CD eject key the system will restart.
    The software runs normally on my account where I'm an admin.  However, if I have any other accounts running then the software will not run with the following message.
    MGSYSCTRL
    Detecting Model type failed!
    You may not run this program correctly
    Can anyone assist in making sure that I do not give my kids admin access under Windows XP?
    Thanks
    Rob

    Update.
    This has now been resolved by performing the following.
    1, Download the bios update using the link below, the MSI update utility never reconised that there was a newer version of the bios available.
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=602&kind=4
    This fixed the reboot issues when using the eject cdrom button!!
    2, The System Control Manager cannot be used under a non admin account, this was corrected by performing the following.
    export from mthe registry, and then delete:-
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "MGSysCtrl"="C:\\Program Files\\MSI\\System Control Manager\\MGSysCtrl.exe"
    And Change to:-
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "MGSysCtrl"="C:\\Program Files\\MSI\\System Control Manager\\MGSysCtrl.exe"
    Then run the new on the Admin account only.
    Hope this helps some of you!

  • Help with mega 865 pro and maxtor sata 6L300S0

    i have a mega 865 pro i just install a new HDD model maxtor sata 6L300S0 300 GB and it is very slow on the mega i contact maxtor and they say i have to verify if i have correct SATA driver installed. but everything looks ok on the system. where i can download that driver again? any one can help me?
    What im doing wrong?

    I'm having the same problem with my Mega 865 pro and my Maxtor 6l200mo (200gb).
    Seems to boot up fine, dosn't take any longer to load up startup items than my old system. Though using pretty much any program results in the system pausing and stuttering for a few seconds. I have noticed it most recenltly when watching video files (mpeg/divx). While i'm watching a video, it will keep pausing at random times.....sometimes every 5 seconds....sometimes every 5 mintues. It does the same when i'm not connected to the internet too, and does the same if I am simply playing mp3s or just on the internet! When it seems to do it most is like now! I have an mpeg playing (300mb) in a window, and while I am browsing the internet and even typing this post, it is pausing for a few seconds which is really frustrating! My old system was pretty similar spec to my current Msi system, though it wasn't a barebones system and was slighty lower spec. That worked flawlessly doing the same tasks so my guess is it must be an Ata problem. Another Mega865 gripe that is bugging me!
    Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers!
    P.s My hd Tach results were pretty much the same as centarlrocks

  • Mega 865 Pro All in Wonder AGP card question

    Helllo,
    I own Mega 865 Pro, and iam looking to install AGP card that has all the features of video editing instead of buying two cards like Pinnacle and graphic card, so i have been searching and i found All in Wonder series, which has TV tuner as well, has any one tried this before, it would be fun to have HDTV beside all the prevoius features of editing issues all in one card, but iam not sure that the power will be enough, so please iam seeking advice.
    Regards

    Quote from: Stu on 18-March-07, 04:00:21
    as you are using MCE2005, in order to use the TV capture in Media Center, you should be sure that it is supported in MCE
    May you reccomed a card to me that support MCE and has the prevoius features as iam not expert in this matter, beside i have heared that i can upgrade the power supplu toget more than 240 watts as thats what i get normally from MEga 865 pro, is that possible to upgrade the power supply? because most new cards needs from 350 watts and above
    Regards

  • FOUND: Mega 865 Pro Official TV Tuner (sort of)

    Well after numerous emails back and forth to MSI's technical service deptartment, I have received the following answer:
    "The S36-0000281-L49 is the correct [and only] tuner card to use with the Mega 865Pro PC in order to function under Instant On and Home Theater applications."
    What is this card you ask, well if you type in the model number at msicomputer.com you get a description of the "MEGA 865 Pro TV Tuner Card". http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=MEGA_865_Pro_TV_Tuner_Card&class=gs
    It has the same chipset as the TV@nywhere Master (Conexant CX23883). There is no picture of the card, link to purchase the card, or any support for the card (ie drivers, manuals). I asked MSI if this is a real card, or something that they intended to sell in the future and they responded that "it has been out on the market for awhile and since the unit has been phased out, you can contact our sales team for the card availability: http://www.msicomputer.com/company/Sales_inquiries.asp".
    I ran a google on the model number and the name of the card which turned up one site apparently selling this card (different model number): http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=17418&vpn=MS-236-000028&manufacture=MicroStar
    Apparently this is the elusive optional TV Tuner that MSI does not advertise anywhere on their websites. Does it work or even exist? Beats me.

    Look, do what most of us have done, by a hybrid digital analogue FM/ or dual digital tv tuner card and forget about instanton and home theater
    use MCE 2005.
    using XP Hibernate is just as fast as instantOn anyway

  • Need help with my Toshiba remote control and receiver for Qosmio G30 161

    Hello to all
    I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-161 and with it I have a Toshiba remote control and a Toshiba remote control receiver, this is the first time I have used it (tried to that is), my problem is the remote is not working on the computer when I press any program buttons the computer does nothing.
    I have installed four brand new AA batteries and the remote works fine its sending signals to the receiver, the receiver the detecting the remote as a red light appears every time you press a button and as for the computer I have checked the drivers and the USB is picking up the receiver as a E-home remote receiver which I have checked with Toshiba and that is correct, so all in all the remote is working, the receiver is picking up signals and the pc has detected the receiver but nothing works, I have installed remote control manager but this still has done anything. I have spoken to Toshiba help and support and the end result is they are not sure what the problem is. Can anyone help I require the remote for slideshows for customers as I??m a photographer.
    Also to confirm I am running Windows XP MCE addition.

    Hi there,
    this remote contol works, if you use it without any special drivers and special software, only in the Media Center.
    But if you install such stuff like [WinLirc|winlirc.sourceforge.net] then you should be able to get some functions for your presentation.
    Please try this tool and check if it works.
    By the way: If I were you I would first read the Manual and FAQ of WinLirc before starting because its a little bit tricky to handle the program. :) (Too many settings :D)

  • Win XP installation failure on MEGA 865 PRO

    I'm fighting with my  MEGA 865pro, Celeron D 341,2x256 RAM, HDD Maxtor 200GB SATA , DVD-RW LG.
    Everything went ok up to the XP installation, i.e. I installed instant-On on an empty disk (it runs and works). Then I boot a Win XP install CD, and it hangs a second after displaying the initial message: "..detecting hardware....". The HDD access led stays on. The same for XP SP1 and SP2. Any BIOS tweaking does not help.
    After XX tries, I found out the SATA HDD is the bad guy, as the XP setup goes ok if I use my old ATA disk, or even if I use both the SATA and the ATA disks.
    Interestingly, Win 2000 installs *without any problems* (but then InstantOn does not boot)!!!  Gentoo and Ubuntu linux work as well.
    I'm trying to install the absolutely standard and ("only") recommended configuration, so what ... :(
    I've seen few posts about this here and there (e.g. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85690.msg616103#msg616103), but no solutions so far :((((
    Thanx
    viz

    Dunno if you allready did, but you need to have the latest BIOS to run Win XP SP2 on the MEGA 865 Pro. When i bought mine, Sp2 wasn't out yet and things worked fine. When i tried installing SP2, everything went fine, untill i boot. Black screen and nothing, after a while MSI released a new BIOS fixing the problem, newest BIOS i think is 1.30

  • Building mega 865 pro pc...

    hey..
    i've just bought my brand new mega 865 pro and havn't got a clue what to put inside it..
    i think i'll go for the pentium 4 3.0ghz.. but after that, i'm not sure what is compatible with it..
    need 512mb ram.. basic stuff (what's compatible??)
    don't need a gfx card or sound card..
    would need about a 200gig hd.. (should i get SATA?.. what's the difference?)
    my biggest worry is the dvd-rw and tv card as i heard many are not compatible...
    i would like a basic tv card that can take advantage of all of the built in msi features.. can anybody recommend one?
    thanks,
    all help appreciated,
    scrappy.

    you can't use high density ram in the 865 PRO - it wont boot.
    SATA is the way of the future, might as well go for it. the only real difference at this stage is that the SATA cable is smaller, thinner and better for air flow. (I removed my extra IDE cable as I'm using SATA)
    You shouldnt have any problems with DVD-RW.
    As for the TV card, go digital. forget the MSI TV card that works with the 865  it only does analog. Forget about instant on too. its crap, just use hibernate or S3 standby, it will turn your pc on just as fast.
