I finally figured out one conflict I've been having on my system.
I use girder and SS's cut down firefly drivers so supposedly all my remote control is done via girder. BTV is set to use keyboard only (no remote) and BM is not presently installed (and never has been since I formatted).
Yet, whenever I pressed the DVD button my remote, cyberlink powerdvd would launch, and if girder was running, so would my intended zoomplayer application.
I'd nobled BTV and girder, and pressing the DVD button STILL launched cyberlink powerdvd. I was getting pretty fedup thinking it was something btv had done.
Turns out - it's the PDVDSRV process that cyberlink dvd installs. Yes - powerdvd installs a service that actually hooks itself into the X10 remote driver and takes over control of some buttons. I think it would have taken over more in my case since it was thinking it had found an ati remote but in actuality it was a snapstream firefly which shares a driver but transmits different event codes to the ati remote.
So the DVD button still worked (Same mapping for snapstream and ati) but none of the other buttons were.
Once I killed that service off, it no longer launches powerdvd without girder running; and then runs what I ask it too properly.
In a nutshell. Kill off the powerdvd server pdvdsrv if you use a remote control. It should stop you having problems with double events, or even totally bogus ones and let BM/Girder/BTV do what it has to do.
The PDVDSRV program is run by the 'run' key in the registry. Just delete it from there so it doesn't re-run on a reboot.
(HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\ru n\
