now what?

All of a sudden everytime I get into the game my computer leaves AH and brings up Windows media, some kind of on-line music stuff. Anybody know what causes this? I turned off virus scan and firewall and its still happening. I cant even use the game now. PS This game was working fine, it started on a bombing run afterr a successful drop. I wasnt even able to bring the airplane home cause I just had to close out the game.

If a program starts without you starting it, you have spyware and/or a virus on your system.

[moneyguy]

yup, i would say spyware. get a spysweeper.

Thanks for the replies. I have spyware stuff and it wasnt that. I reloaded the game, after uninstalling, and all seems to be fine now.

if your game keeps minimising and other things pop up you have spywear and/or a virus.
Run your anti virus and spy wear scans a copuple of times or it will proberly start again.

Even if it stops after relaoding the game, your computer still has a problem.  You just managed to mask it.  There is absolutely nothing in the game which can cause the issue you had.

It could be that Windows Media itself (an already annoying and over-demanding program) is trying to run some sort of reminder, or updater, or some other process. Make sure you go into the options and check through all of them. Turn off things like "Run at startup" and "check for updates every day" and other things that make it run when you don't want it to.


Basically, if it sounds like it's an option where the program does something without you telling it, disable it!


I guarantee you 130% it's not Aces High that did this. AH was simply minimized by something else, it didn't start that "something else." AH was the victim
