Hi,

This problem only started yesterday, with no obvious reason. I've got Windows 7 and the calculator has suddenly started opening multiple times randomly. In fact, in the time I've begun typing this message it has now opened 14 times, and opens faster and more frequently the more I type!! I've run a virus scan and havent found anything. What could be causing this???

(BTW: check out your local Task Scheduler anyway. Lots of stuff in there by default since Vista)
