i can't figure this out...

[Raven]

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...

part of a game file...

i noticed

[MrHunters]

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

accessories>system tools>system restore?

[striperman36]

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?

[Raven]

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....

[MrHunters]

maybe it related to your audio driver issue.
