    HTPC Hell!!!

    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

    Have you tried those piecies of software which move your mouse every x often, I used one a long while back (I forget why!), it had options such as simulating keypreses etc

    Re: HTPC Hell!!!

    i found out the problems anywayz now, basically my vbscript needed to have the number 18 in it instead of 7, stupid i know but the code only worked when windows sent the number 7 which means manual resume hence no reaction on auto resume... thanks for the help anywayz tho
