Hi,
I'm running vista 64 bit and I just finished mapping all of my keys for my MCE (RC6) remote in eventghost. I decided that I wanted to map one of the colored buttons at the bottom of the remote to start XBMC. The button is properly configured as a HID and I have mapped the macro and subsequent action to XBMC.exe, my problem is that when I use the remote XBMC starts in the default skin rather stark. Any ideas on why this would be happening. If I click on the executable itself or from a shortcut on my desktop stark loads correctly.

Thanks,

edgesitter

check the parameters being passed to the executable

ie:

xbmc.exe -fs -p ..

fs = full screen & -p = portable

if your chose portable installation during setup it will install your userdata within the xbmc directory - if you chose the other option - you're userdata is stored in the documents & settings folder (not sure if it's the same in vista as xp)

essentially you need to pass the same parameters as the shortcut on your desktop - check the properties and it should be listed in the "Target" path after the quotes
