Green button no longer going to main menu on extenders

Greetings. I just re-installed Windows 7 and WMC, and reconfigured all of my extenders. Everything works great, sans the green button on my Xbox 360 remote. While I can use it to start WMC, it will no longer go the main menu. For example, if I open up the Guide, or if I'm watching Live TV, I can't click the green button to go back to the main menu. I now have to back out via the back command, which is really annoying.

I'm having this issue on all of my extenders, which includes several Xbox 360s and a DMA-2200 (I think I tried that one). I don't have this issue on my computer, however.

Any thoughts? I don't recall ever having this problem before. Thanks in advance for any help.

(As a side note, the reason in reinstalled everything is because I thought I killed the WMC guide info. Come to find out, there is an issue with the guide server. Lucky me. I'm using EPG123 for now.)

Did you install any software that might be intercepting the keycode for the button?

Nothing out of the ordinary. Further, it is only an issue on my extenders (which I haven't touched) and not my PC.

I see, I don't use extenders and don't know much about them, so I probably can help with this.

Closing the loop on this post. The menu button on the controller now functions correctly with my extender. I didn't change anything. It just started to work. Oh well...I'm happy.
