Svarre, Welchap,

Seems I must be unlucky, this fix doesn't work on all Vista machines I've tried it on. However there is an additional step that seems to make it work:

In step 4.2 above.

Instead of just sending Ctl+Alt+S from your Pronto, precede this command with a Windows Start command (equivalent to pressing the key to the left of the space bar between Ctrl and Alt on a Windows keyboard.) This tells Vista that a general command is about to be sent, not something for the Media Center shell. (I paste the learned code for Windows Start below.)

So to turn off your Vista HTPC using a Pronto:

Send: Windows Start
Send: Ctl+Alt+S

And your Vista HTPC will go into standby.

When it comes back on, it may still be in 'desk top' mode, not full media center mode. I suggest you send a green button (Media Center Start) code early in your start up sequence to make sure your Vista HTPC comes up in a recognizable state.

Regards

Andy
