normally anything ...i can find it on a PC
any file ,any program....
without resorting to spyware,adware,or virus proggies...

but not this....

sometimes i go to reboot.....
and i get a message saying -m running

i have no idea what this is...

just m nothing else...:rolleyes:

Doesn't ring a bell, including having supported hhhhhuuuunndreds of w9x machines...

i'm not sure if i can get a screen cap of the message.....:eyes:

i'll try next time it appears.....even if i have to use my camera

good ol fashioned screen cap digital photo

part of a game file...

the zoom lense binoculars....

had the -m on it...

i noticed

have you tryed a system restore....? from before this started happening?

accessories>system tools>system restore?

In a DOS box at shutdown or startup. or a msgbox?

Do you have any startup or shutdown scripts associated with your login ID?
How about apps in your startup group?
Is there any m.exe or M as a service running but is masked by DLLHOST.EXE in taskmgr?

its in a message box at shut down , not in a dos box...

the last item on the screen when i go to reboot

just says -m running in the background is not responding.. ect

i've thouroughly searched all *.exe's files
and havent seen anything suspicious.

perhaps it's not important.... :read:

maybe it related to your audio driver issue.

I say
