    Firstly, I was just playing some dota like ANY OTHER day.
    But then this day, today, windows media center pops up like crazy, i dunno what the hell in the world is going on. It just kept popping up.

    I have disabled windows media service and startup before already, so how does it keep popping up i am really confused.

    So i go regedit and decided to stop it from there. BUT NOOO now its error msgs POPPING UP LIKE CRAZY!

    now i was like "no prob" i backed the registry before i edit it. so i switched back to the back up and restarted my computer

    NOW GUESS WHAT!! IT TURNS ON WITH ARCADE DELUXE!! WHAT THE F**K!
    :eek:

    Orz

    and there seem to be no ways to turn on with vista, no matter how i try its just arcade deluxe the first thing when i turn it on.

    someone please help i really need to turn on my comp to do my work.
    i am using 5920G
    vista :(
    2GB ram
    T7300
    8600GT

    I have found the cause. On acers is the "flipping" Launch Manager that is gone mad. Unistall it and the popping up will dissappear.

    My best guess is that one of the keys on your keyboard is loose and has the same effect as pressing it like crazy
