I hope the released version of RM's protocols.ini isn't that different from my copy. I know it's a little different. I don't have time to get it now and check. But you should certainly check to see that both your RM and your DecodeIr.dll are up to date.

DecodeIr.dll is at
http://john.fine.home.comcast.net/ir/Decode_IR_DLL.zip

The current DecodeIr should recognise the MCE signals (which are a subset of RC6-6-32) and give you an MCE decode, which should be simplto use than the RC6-6-32 decode.

RM using my copy of protocols.ini includes BOTH RC6-6-32 and MCE protocols. Either can be used for an MCE upgrade, but MCE should be a little simpler. I think all that is also in the released version of protocols.ini

I just checked my own protocols documentation at
http://john.fine.home.comcast.net/ir/DecodeIr.html#MCE
and that implies that I gave Greg the MCE protocol entry for RM after he release v1.16 and before he released v1.17. Since I'm using v1.21 (but with a protocols.ini file newer than v1.21) I expect RC6-6-32 and MCE support have been included for quite a while.

The Change log for RemoteMaster shows that RC6-6-32 was added in v1.16 and MCE was added in v1.17

I have couple more questions ...
I can't somehow program the Fav button on my 9910 - Is this normal ?
Since the Power button is very close and similar shape as the upper arrow
I'm expert on putting the computer in to stand by

Is it possible to program the button that it has to be hold down for about 2 seconds and than sen the signal ? .. or in combination with other button ?

Thanks

It is - without an extender, you can't program anything to this button.

What about "Sleep" (shift-power)?

Most likely it's labeled "Setup". It works like a calculator (press setup, release, and then press Power).

Yep, that's it. You only have to hold it to do setup functions. When it's used as a shift button you just press and release.
