Disable Power Button on Gyration Remote

[SkierHiker]

I just got a Gyration MCE remote and the PC Power button powers off my computer. I can't have the PC power off since it's in an inaccessable location. Does anybody know if there is a way either from the remote or from within Windows to keep the remote from powering down the PC?

My Gyration MCE remote doesn't power down my pc, but it does put it to sleep. Either way, all you have to do is go to your power options in the control panel and there are two boxes in the advanced tab that say what action your pc does when the sleep or power button is pushed. turn them both to do nothing and you will have no more problems.

Update - I had no APCI sleep, standby, suspend, or hibernate modes which caused the Gyration power button to always power off. This was because APCI was not enabled due to an old video card I still had in the computer. When I removed the old video card and only had devices that supported APCI, I then was able to set in Control Panel/Power Options the power button and sleep button to 'do nothing'. Everything works just like I need it to. Thanks.
