    What's going on with this? I have a new refurb G73JH-X3 running Win7 Home Premium, 8GB, WoW installed on a partition of the twin 320GB drives.

    While playing in fullscreen, when I hit NumLK (to run) I sometimes get tabbed briefly to desktop, at which point I lose Gamma correction (but not every time).

    There's some other key that does it and my brain just blanked on what it was, but suffice to say it's not happening because I'm accidentally hitting the MS start menu key or Alt-Tabbing. Just the usual left hand on ASDW area and the right doing mouse (or in this case, Num Lock).

    I did a Google and Forum search and couldn't find any reference to this issue.

    EDIT: I think it's the Numlock and Capslock notification being generated by BTTray.exe. Is there a way to avoid that other than killing the process every time? Or is it bloatware and can be removed from startup anyway?
