Thanks, Baron. I was using ver 1.2, I didn't know there was a new better Version until I clicked.

Pathfinder:
OK. Some guy on the USENET has seen similar filename in systems built on SiS chipsets. You have an asus Mobo, which I didn't post the USENET 'cause I didn't think it was important (Dumb!).

I'll post more info on the USENET later. But until then there is something to try. Run msinfo32. Maybe you've seen this program before, but it's new to me. It lists all hardware components and the files they require.

I know you're sure it's a new program, but maybe it's needed for your hardware, got spoofed (or innocently damaged), and can be repaired by reinstalling hardware drivers from the install CD-ROM.

Yeah, that's a possiblity. Maybe this is a legit driver and something on his Mobo has gone flaky and it is popping up a warning box but failing to 'stay put' and transmit the message because of some conflict with something else in the system.
