    it seems that every time i log out of guild wars or close down the program, windows media center starts up. And this problem only seems to occur with guild wars and no other game that i have installed on my m1330.
    is there anything that would solve this problem.
    Thanks!!!

    i have heard that if i delete "MCE shortcut" that it would solve the problem. where can i find MCE shortcut?

    Oh my god

    I have the same problem but never took it seriously since it seemed so ridiculous. Now that I know others have it.. anyone have a fix?

    this happens with a few other games i have had, i may have found a fix...
    Right-click the shortcut that does this, and choose properties.. look In the
    target box. The -mce argument needs to be taken out....you can make a regular
    shortcut without arguments by taking out the -mce in the target box....worked for me try it out

    ok, i finally fixed the problem :)

    here is what you should do: right click on gw shortcut thats in the desktop, click on the "shortcut" tab. then change the tab from ""C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -mce" to "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"

    so all you have to do is delete the "-mce" and that fixed my problem
