Try uninstalling it and rebooting your Vaio.<BR /><BR />This is a fairly common problem in MCE - have a look at some of the other solutions <A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/12/29/508147.aspx" target="_blank">HERE</A> <BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.nl/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 10 Mar 2007 19:39:08 GMT https://community.sony.nl/t5/pcs-accessories/remote-control-has-died/m-p/145316#M22167 Blencogo 2007-03-10T19:39:08Z Re: remote control has died https://community.sony.nl/t5/pcs-accessories/remote-control-has-died/m-p/145318#M22168 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks the link worked, shorting the 2 terminals and reseting the remote work, one problem down 1 to go lol it might nto end up being a paper weight<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 10 Mar 2007 20:01:01 GMT https://community.sony.nl/t5/pcs-accessories/remote-control-has-died/m-p/145318#M22168 andrewisback 2007-03-10T20:01:01Z
