Asus ACPI Center pop up on start up

This has been bugging me and keeps coming up almost everytime I boot my PC. I have an older PC, designed for XP so I do bear in mind that some things cannot be fixed.

The pop up has no close button so I have to launch task manager to get rid of it. Here it is:

Is it a start up program?

If so, go to start > run > and type "msconfig"

Go to the startup tab, and deselect the program that is causing the problem.

I have the exact same problem with a different ASUS board and different OS. (P5Q Pro and Vista 64bit Ultima).

It doesn't happen all the time, but it is maddening when it happens and I would love to hear a fix.

Asus ACPI is nothing but trouble .. for me I had to disable it cos it interrupted my XBOX 360 as a media center extender. Try this:

On Vista (as an admin or with admin rights) go to Task Scheduler (easiest way is to type T-A-S-K ... in the Start Search).
From the left .. expand Task Scheduler (Local) and expand Task Scheduler Library. You should see ASUS.
Within the ASUS tree , you should see two entries for ASUS ACPI Service Provider and ASUS RegRun Loader .. disable them both and reboot.

HTH

Tried your suggestion but it still seems to do it every so often.

Have you tried deleting the entries completely from you scheduler list (after making a restore point).
