started last night. vista media center keeps opening by itself as soon as I can close it, tried disabling it every which way as instructed on various help sites. best I could do was to stop the actual program from loading, but now I get the can't open progran box one after the other as it trys to start. in just a few minutes I'll have 25-30 cannot start notifications on screen. before I got to this point, media center would open seconds after I could shut it down.. again and again, over and over. scanned with windows essentials, malwarebytes and avg and haven't found any infections. how do I make it stop other than performing my usual autopsy on things that quit working and adding it to my collection of misc. parts/pieces of junk I never throw out help
