Posting this in case it helps anyone else, now or in the future.
After years of working, suddenly, when I pressed stop on the windows media center remote control, NPVR responded as though it had been pressed twice.
I didn't have to rack my brain for long. I had just got a "Microsoft wireless keyboard 2000" as my old IR one had become intermittent. The culprit was the "Microsoft IntelliType 8.0" which came on the CD with the keyboard. I un-installed that and tried the latest download version "Microsoft IntelliType Pro 8.2 Keyboard Software for Windows - 32 bit". This really screwed things up. Pressing "stop" for the second time caused the NPVR to close and I got a message saying that windows has closed the program "To help protect your computer". After that the machine was completely locked up and the only thing it responded to was a power reset.
The keyboard works fine without this installed, just the programmable keys don't work.
