    Everything opens with Windows Media Center


    I did something to my Dell laptop, and now every application I try to open (i.e., sticky notes, video games) opens with a Windows Media Center screen that doesn't do anything. When I click the close button, another Windows Media Center screen pops up full size! WTFO?

    Hello Spark, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You should be able to do a system restore at boot using a restore point dated before this happened to undo and fix this.

    Hope this helps, :)
