Keep certain apps (like Media Center) from using 3D?
Ok, I'm getting tired of having to hit CTRL-T every time I bring up Vista Media Center, even if I just minimize it. I see refernce to the issue in other posts, but no solution. I should be able to exclude certain programs from attempting 3D. Help?

Set S3D to not automatically turn on when you start a game.

Try naming media center Doom3.exe since that one doesn't work. Lol.

Just to explain, that would be the choice "Hide stereoscopic 3D effects when game starts" in the "Setup Stereoscopic 3D" menu.

Thanks for the tip. There should be another way though.
