Every time I close guild wars, my computer opens windows media center by itself...how do I fix this?

If you close Guildwars by a shortcut (Alt+f4 maybe) Then that might be the trigger for WMC, if not, I have no idea lol.

My laptop did the same thing. Here's what i had to do to fix it..

Right click your guildwars shortcut, click properties. go in the "Target" box, for some reason if you have Windows Media Center edition it automatically puts -mce at the end of the quots in target, even when you take it out.

Take the -mce out of the target line, then make your Guild Wars shortcut read-only (found in the General tab of properties). That should fix your problem.

Also disabling the Media Center function entirely will fix this also, but i can't remember how i did that. Was a long time ago. Hope this helps

edit: no problem (:

Uninstalling Vista works too. You also get a lot less headaches as a bonus.

Only if you reinstall Vista or some other OS.
