Hi,

I have a question regarding control of Windows Media Center with the media keypad. I am unable to find a way to move left and right within the menus other than pulling up the standard keyboard, clicking on the 'F' mode and using the cursor keys, or using the mouse/cursor with the trackpad.
On the media keypad the + and - keys in the ring around the play button move up and down in the menus but the next and previous arrows to the right and left of the ring do not move left and right while in the menus. Also the only way to activate a selected item is with the mousepad. Is this the correct behaviour or do I have something configured incorrectly?

Many Thanks

I was having the same problem so it isn't just you! ;-)

I have now found them. If you have the main Media Center panel up with the transport keys, select the keyboard symbol below the mouse panel. If you are now showing the QWERTY keys, select the F key above the I and O keys. This now gives Functions keys plus cursor, Enter and Page Up/Page down. Perhaps not intuitive but they are there.

Nick.
