I tried that already. You cant run game-panel without starting aida64 with it. When you have the aida applet checked in the game-panel software it automatically starts the software when it starts. If you uncheck it, you have to go into the game-panel software every time and check it to get your diagnostics to show up on the keyboard. I tried unchecking the auto-start box in the gamepanel software, and then scheduling gamepanel to auto start 30 seconds after boot, it doesn't lock up, but when it starts it brings the window up. It wont open into the task-tray. I looked at the options. I tried using the hide the service, I even tried setting it to start minimized at boot but the window still pops up when it starts. If I don't have the applet checked in game-panel, it doesn't lock up, but it wont show my diagnostics on the keyboard. Aida doesnt lock up on its own, it only does when it boots with the gamepanel software. I am really hoping that there will be an update soon and that it will patch this bug. This issue is really driving me nuts. I have tried everything I can think of, and I am willing to try anything that you guys suggest. I am completely out of Ideas on this one. Fiery, Please use your godlike powers and help me.
