[Vista] Guild Wars: Media Center Fix
Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:10 pm
To those of you who are using Vista and have noticed Windows Media Center launching every time you load or exit Guild Wars, there is a small fix to get rid of this happening. Hopefully this saves a bunch of people hours of trying to find a solution.
1. Right click the shortcut to Guild Wars and select "Properties"
2. In the "Target" field, delete the switch "-mce"
3. Click Apply and OK
4. Launch Guild Wars and experience no Windows Media Center loading. /bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />
Why does it do this? For some reason, ArenaNet added the -mce switch to the default installation on Vista machines. Why? I'm not exactly sure. Hopefully in future ArenaNet will fix this from happening as I cannot see any reason for the Media Center benefiting Guild Wars in any way.
I hope this helped someone out there. /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />
