nms169 Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Ok, heres the question... Ramdomly the windows calculator will pop up for no reason at all. At 1st i thought it was a virus, and dismissed it. After a slight problem with my not reading the instruction of proper raid 0 implimatation on a installed computer, i blew up windows, and had to reload. Did the same thing with the calulator. So then I was thinking, well still could be a virus. Now i was curious enought to format both drives and reload once again. Now thinking to eliminate all varibles I had just the video card, ram and cpu running. No internet nothing. It still does it. Could this be because of the board? Or any ideas? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 i highly doubt it's the board. does it launch at startup randomly or does it open during normal use? on keyboards or a mouse, is anything bound to a smartkey? does it happen after you load a particular program or go to a particular website? i usually delete and recreate partitions during an install, as opposed to just a regular format. other than that...that's a weird problem, especially with the program launched being calc.

cpuz Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Did you install any programs w/in windows? It's not in your "starup" folder, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nms169 Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Its not in start up, and nothing was installed on windows. Clean install. It just randomly pops up. You could be doing nothing at all. Like heres an example. I left it on all night to burn in....and i got up and there it was the calculator open. Or when im burning something, not tuching the computer, it will just open... for no reason. Ive already tried a new mouse, and keyboard. Still does the same thing.

nms169 Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 sounds like that should fix it. Thanks. Oddly enough i did think that it could be a shortcut key on one of my ir keyboards. But the thing is there are no shortcut keys. still though, im betting i am getting interferance somewhere causeing it. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
