this one will make you think....

ok
I have a dell inspiron E1505
1G ram
core duo
vista home premium

whenever I play halo 2 and I'm done,I exit and after I exit windows media
center opens.but it bugs me because it takes about 2 minuets after I exit so
the prosesers are maxed at 100% as it tries to start up.
now this problem started about 2-3 days after it was installed.

ps I don't want to uninstall media center it because I use media center for
movies and media player for music.

Re: this one will make you think....

do you put the halo2 in the dvd drive when playing if you do you don't need
to do that.

Re: this one will make you think....

I would try running halo2 from a shortcut set to use XP compatibility mode.
