ok once more my mediaportal is giving me problems, this is the final one but it is ridiculously stupid... after vb scripting and installing various apps etc... i managed to get it to a state where it works bar one ridiculously annoying problem... scheduling a recording and then setting it to sleep (S3) works as far as the pc wakes up... then it is basically idle until i move the mouse or press the keyboard... both of which i dont want to have plugged in as i am using remote only... now i know i can press a remote key but if i schedule a recording to take place its not going to happen without me doing either of these things which means i cant record if i'm out... as i said a stupid problem... so i used some vbscript to simulate a keypress on resume which works as the key is "pressed" but it doesn't execute the script unless i move the mouse... so i either need a way for my script to run without needing to move the mouse or a way to make the pc think i've moved the mouse on resume and startup... this is such a stupid problem i dont know whether to laugh or cry...
...please help
