Brightness Level Opens Messenger

Whenever I adjust the brightness level of my laptop's monitor, my Windows Live Messenger automatically opens up. I was just wondering if anyone knows the reason for this phenomenon and if there were a setting I could select or deselect to stop this from happening.

Re: Brightness Level Opens Messenger

Greetings,

I've never heard of such a thing. I see no reason why it would trigger Messenger's API or
specifically start Messenger.

What sort of laptop is this?
