wireless keyboard and mouse while using your system as a media center, that's the only way i know to do it.

I actually have a remote for my PC, it was originally a Media Center PC, but the pre installed OS was messed up, so I tried to make a new OS CD using the pre supplied backup software, and that messed itself up :confused:

and THEN they wanted me to pay £25 for a new CD even though it was their software that messed it up...

Some people eh?

ir blaster for the pc (easy to make your own thru a parallel port), and have the system learn the codes. shouldn't be that hard if you aren't afraid of soldering.
