Hi All, I have just installed gameEX on a new laptop and all is good accept everytime I start gameEX it loads Windows media centeralongside it. Forum search came up with nothing and I am unable to find the setting to disable this in setup wizard. Pulling my hair out here, any help would be much appreciated.
