 | IT will begin to cause instability on your computer |
 Arthur de Smet | When Acrobat Reader 6 is started, wisptis becomes active. |
| John Novak | You'll have this process running if you have Microsoft Journal Viewer or Adobe Acrobat/Reader 6.0 or MS Office System 2003 installed Siehe auch: Link |
| Igor | Dangerous in the way that you should not remove it if you have Adobe Reader 6 and Office 2003 installed. If you delete it and try to open PDF document it will ask for Office 2003 installation source. Real annoyance because it doesn't have any value for desktop users. |
| | It seems to be used by my dell bluetooth stack COM server |
| Mark | wisptis.exe is running but I have not started Adobe nor do I have a tablet PC - CPU went to 100 for a few moments, prompting me to check the Task Manager. |
| | came with MS Office 97 standard installation |
| dorre | When Acrobat Reader 6 is started, wisptis becomes active. |
| walter read - whread | I do not have a tablet PC - I will investigate - on my machine the file lives in the \system32\ folder |
| | is used for msn messenger handwrite plugin too |
| CookieRevised | See other comments. This isn't dangerous at all, if it causes instability then there is something other then this going on in your PC (eg. bad installations) |
| Frederick Tronboll | Installed with Pen TAblet Graphire 2 |
| www.b0rked.tk | Not a big deal... Just helps stuff run... duh |
| Skye (random surfer) | Not dangerous...but also not necessary. I find it very annoying that even though I've never even touched a Tablet PC this process runs on my system. It's not too difficult for me to remove but I'm a LAN admin, my concern is the millions of people using Adobe/MS Office 2003 that have this process unnecessarily running. It should be a process that only gets called if you're actually using the Tablet PC stuff instead of just turning it on by default. Get on the ball Adobe and MS!!! Siehe auch: Link |
| Max | It seems sometimes it crashes Opera. Siehe auch: Link |
| Thaiger | I closes Acrobat Read but de process remains active |
| Jason | Runs with MSN Messenger IM windows to allow handwriting with InfoPen for Outlook. InfoPen reinstalls itself when this file is deleted. |
| Jack Mehof | Windows System File? Siehe auch: Link |
| Joseph Choi | In my computer, when wisptis.exe starts with helpsvc.exe, sometimes I will see helpsvc.exe allocating memory non-stoppingly (can be over 200MB within several minutes) and cause significant delay in response. I often kill this two processes together, but I am not sure that whether there is relation between them. |
| | It is frustrating when there are processes running that you don't know about. This one just "showed" up |
| Aldatillian | Only usefull if you own a Tablet PC or need the "ink service". Deleting the file leads to problems with Adobe Reader and Office 2003 so best way to deal with this little bugger is to use XP's security features (only works for NFTS file system) and deny every user and the system all rights to this file. |
 Magnus Holm | It stays alive after Acroread is terminated |
| Vincent | I found 15 instances of this running for no reason, chewwing up a lot of resources |
| stummer_cake | I've tried killing it, but it keeps coming back |
| Thorsten Schmidt | Wenn der Acrobat Reader startet ist der Dienst Aktiv |
| Beppe | In "Windows Task Manager" the "Base Pri" = High. |
| Amos | This process screws up my graphics tablet input (AIPTEK 8000U). It isn't actually dangerous, just annoying. |
| Edwin | It was installed with Adobe 6.0, probably as part of the Windows Journal Viewer. |
| Xanothis | Can interfere with Nisis tablets (namely when tblmouse is running), causing the cursor to locate to upper left corner of screen whenever the stylus is placed on the tablet. VERY annoying. |
| warp-9.9 | Runs without being configured to run. Runs when not needed. Eats memory. |
| Zeus (the god of all gods, greek that is) | This file is also need if your using these plasma screens that is why it loads with office 2003, adobe and Messenger. so it really aint usless just should only load for these type of requirements, and I agree Micro$oft and Adobe need to get with the program, and in my book any program that is left over after a program that called for it is either a virus or a memory leak. |
| geeky g | wisptis (Windows Subsystem Input) is a generic process of Windows NT/2000/XP used to manage the entries used by graphics tablets. The process wisptis is not in any case a Virus, Worm, Trojan horse, spyware, nor AdWare. |
| KVR | Causes problems when Aiptek 8000U tablet installed and Adobe Acrobat started. Cursor jumps to top left and displays MS mouse image when you 'left' click with the tablet pen. |
| Alex Churchill | It interferes with the pointer position for several popular makes of graphics tablet (Nisis, Trust, and more). It gets started by Adobe Reader 6, but can be closed from Task Manager with no ill effects. Apparently one can stop it causing problems by marking the wisptis.exe file not accessable by any user or the system. Siehe auch: Link |
| M. Aldin | Adobe, as usual, does not clean up after itself in its bloated software |
| $ç]-[õII! | I think it is used for MSN Messenger Plus Handwriting Plugin....! |
| Rinus Leeuw | Used by my Wacom tablet. If i kill this file from my memory, my tablet isn't working anymore.... |

| tysonius | running in background, but serves no purpose |
| val | start with Adobe Acrobat Writer |
| Niksha | Open "add/remove programs", select "MS Front Page 2003" and click "change" button. Now chose "Add or Remove Features" and click next , there expand "Office Shared Features" and click on "Microsoft Handwriting Component" and select "Not available" and click "update". If that's no help then expand in the same tree "Alternative User Input" and do the same for "Handwriting" option. |
| Tim V | GDI Object leak causes Windows to eventually stop responding. (Unless wisptis.exe is killed) |
| Mike | unnütz für desktops |
| jlib | Most people have this because they installed Journal Viewer from Microsoft update. Generally not needed so just uninstall and it goes away! |
| Vanda | I have a program that analises all running processes and it says it has something to do with Microsoft Visio 2003. |
| EepP | Not dangerous at all... just used with Word 2k3 and MSN Messenger Plus! HandWriting plug-in. |
| MarK - UK | When/If you use MSN Messenger 7 it uses it so you can handwrite. It's fine. |

| CW | When my system slow: I issue "taskkill /im "wisptis.exe" /f from the commandline - that can be done without destabilizing the system |
| Sonny | it takes over 6 MBs of my precious memory, what a dumb software design decision by Adobe and M$. |
| Knitting | Starts with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and causes a performance loss in IE6.0 that is noticable with Flash media apps and animated image files. On larger files this can cause lag in bringing up menus and other such fun annoyances. |
| mirek | it blocked connection via RDP |
| Adrian | its horrible, its not a cause of issues, but rather a system hog, it grabs USER and GDI objects like they are going out of style, not a probl for home, but in an office with heavy 2d windows (financial markets) once your system runs out of user and gdi objects, you run into odd situations where programs wont start or right clicking wont work - this of course is just symtomatic of the system being able to render an more 2d windows for new or existing apps -- killing a task with a few hundred (add view in task mgr) of these objects gets around it but, since this little sucker is using 1200 GDI.. |

| albert | truns off with task manager or process explorer turns on with Acrobat reader 6 but not with photoshop elements 2 |
| David fefko | Runs without being configured to run. Runs when not needed. Eats memory. |
| Diabllo | I think it came with windows journal viewer, i never had it b4 then, so im not conserned |
| adobe | Everything that comes with Adobe Reader sucks, this is no exception |
| icky | i run 3 pcs i have the handwriting on 1 and what charlie says is 100% correct so nothing to worry about. no it doesnt slow pc down its just a plugin thats all |
| mulrich15 | I have handwriting installed for MSN Messenger Plus!, so I know why it is running. |
| Brody | Eats a lot of GDI resources. Can quickly reach the 10k application limit and will drain the 16k System limit (W2K only) which causes a system crash. |
| Roc | installed as part of windows tablet viewer. installed from windows update. you need the files if you ever decide to view files created by a tablet pc application with handwriting |
| Steven C. | Runs as a subtask under SVChost.exe. I dislike bloatware and any type of app that runs without the user's knowledge. When is MS and those other freaks going to realize that not all users are stupid? |
| Dave | For MSN 7 BETA,: kill process and see you won't be able to draw no more in MSN 7 BETA. |
| Richard Colletta | It eats up system resources, and has little or no use, below link can be used to remove it safely |
| Serge | It's completely useless since i never had tablet and probably not getting it anywhere in near future. it wastes my RAM and CPU which I really don't like, so I blocked it from running |
| stimp | something to do with msn7 beta, first noticed it after installing this prog anyway |
| mombala | starts with adobe acrobat reader (free one) |
| Tony | I have a beta copy of Messenger 7 which features a built in handwriting function. This process has appeared since I installed that. |

| Chris | Cursor freezes when expanding and minimising windows when this is running |
| - | I found it running recently after installed the MSN Handwriting plugin. It's not dangerous. Siehe auch: Link |
| andrikos | The number of open GDI handles by wisptis.exe was above 1000, which is unacceptable. Siehe auch: Link |
| Bytemite.Com | Agree with Knitting. Also starts with Photoshop. Kills IE and takes awhile to end the process. Uses a lot of disk activity. |
| M. Spurlock | Resource hog, bad design. Let's start calling these things what they are; I didn't ask for it to be installed, it is detrimental to my system and nothing I want on my system requires it to run. It's a virus. I don't care that it comes from a company. I should be given the option to remove it easily or to not install it in the first place. |
| J. Sinclair | startet mit dem Acrobat Reader mit, warum weiss ich nicht. |
| jadester | it's not spyware etc. as others have stated but seems it can cause problems; i've used acrobat and msn messenger for a coupla years and i only just saw it in task manager, even though now acrobat is closed (and i don't use handwriting stuff or have a tablet or have journal viewer installed). In this case it seemed to cause Winamp to jump on a normally fine music file, i killed the wisptis.exe process and it's fine now. Stupid MS and Adobe =+( |
| jimzone | it showed up after installing Acrobat Reader 7. Adobe insists on supporting off-brand operating systems and seldom gets anything right |
| Erhhung | After a while it soaked up 8000+ GDI Objects (as reported by the task manager) and caused haywire on rendering of all windows. |
| WebGuy | Simple program used for features in MS programs. If you have a tablet it will over run your tablet's manufacturer software. Caused probelms for me since I'm running a dual screen setup which specifies special configurations on my tablet. If you have this problem, this link provides a script that will disable WISPTIS and not allow it to install agian. Siehe auch: Link |
| Little | Bei mir ist das eine Office 2003-zugehörige Datei |
| Jevian | Those of you complaining about memory usage by this file, if you understood the data that goes into creating an RTF document, you would know why the memory usages is so high, if you don't know anything about an RTF document, don't worry about it. It is part of the Windows Journal Viewer, most people get this update from either tablets or the windows update service. To have handwriting in MSN Messenger, you need Windows Journal Viewer, if you don't want it, uninstall it. It's like having a pet, you have to feed it, if you don't want to feed it, you shouldn't have a pet! |
| J!km!l | Not really dangerous, its a acro read file indeed. No harm, wdfmgr.exe is much more annoying! pff |
| Andy W | Linked with MSN 7(beta) for handwriting |
| Rob M | Installed the windows journal viewer today and now it is present. Used for MSN messenger's handwriting messages |

| iulian | It slowing a lot the system and Tim V get right with his answer !!! |
| steeltips | Installed with itunes came with ipodservice as well somesting fishy MayBe |
| SubSpace | Not dangerous, but at some point it was using 9,999 GDI objects on my system. More than all other running applications together. |
| Sean | I don't have a tablet PC and this was running on my computer any one with out a Tablet PC should delete this file now! anyone with one should replace it with a good copy of the file |
| Teplotaxl | It is necessary for anything that involves handwriting: Handwriting for MSN Messenger (mouse), Powerpoint 'Virtual Pen' (mouse) and PDA's/ Tablet PC's with text recognition (pen). Don't jump to conclusions because of its location - it would probably be spyware or st. if it were not a Microsoft process. |
| G | I have Adobe 7.0 and Office`03 and am using msn messger(beta). It only appears in task list when and after I use "handwritten" feature in messenger. I deleted it from task list with no probalems. |
| | Messenger Beta feature "handwritting feature" Only appears in task list when i use this feature. Adobe 7.0 or Office `03 not using it on this machine |
| solenoglypho | Acrobat reader 6.0 become to use 96% of CPU |
| chris-E | Probably loaded when installing XP. I had a WACOM tablet already attached. Killed the process in Task Manager and pen mouse still fine. |
| alternative | Wurde istalliert mit .net Framework |
| v-2cyork@mssupport.microsoft.com | is a process added when you install the beta msn messanger 7.0. Which is why people not on a tablet pc have it running. If removed you cannot use the handwriting function of the program and may infact cause instability in the program itself. |
| Marshall | The GDI object count was above 2500, which ended up pegging the CPU. |
| Ewout | Horribly annoying, makes my inet go slower and makes my computer also slower, but I don't think it's dangerous |
| Eproxima | Its a Microsoft file embedded in Journal Viewer "so you can view tablet pc files?" on a regular pc. Quote from ms page: This accessory enables users who do not have a computer running Microsoft® Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition to view files that were created in Microsoft® Windows® Journal on a Tablet PC. I downloaded journal reader just to make handwriting in msn messenger. Siehe auch: Link |
| cwolf | never saw it in task manager. just renamed it for now |
| | it messes up with the program c:/windows/system32/lsass |
| JohnnyTurbo | saw it once, deleted it, never saw it again... |
| Doug Haden | Serves no purpose unless you need tablet services but consumes system resources. |
| Jensfradk | It is a MS file.. it is save.. Properply installed with MSN 7.0 Final Beta, |
| Francois | Great Plugin for MSN no danger here :) Siehe auch: Link |
| Da Phuzz | Appeared on my system after updating to Adobe Reader 7... simply ended the process tree, no negative results. It reloads when Reader is opened, no lagging or freezing at all. |
| Arkane | Journal Viewer Component. Use it for handwriting on MSN Messenger 7.x |
| Amicus | It starts when I use handwritten messages in MSNMessenger 7.If I stop WISPTIS.EXE I can't use that feature in MSN anymore. |
| Steve | My mouse was running through treacle. Killed this process and all was well. Thanks for Journal Viewer tip. Uninstalled that and all seems well again. |
| kevin | i found it would not allow me to copy and paste with it running |
| John | It's installed with Journal Viewer, which is required by MSN 7 if you wish to use the drawing feature. Terminating wisptis eliminates the mouse freezing, of course, but then you can't draw in MSN 7. |
| B52 | Becomes active when torrent client working a bit more than 24 h |
| | this file is used now in MSN 7 for handwriting, i think its from the "windows journal viewer. whatever its from, it slowed my computer right down to a crawl, everything took a few seconds longer to load, switching programs takes and eternity now, so its either form that, or the new msn 7 |
| | after a repair of windows this files comes up with adobe and tries to locate messenger installer package (which at least here it is unsuccessful at finding). It starts up an installation modification and the install cannot be cancelled by regular means it will just restart. the adobe process must be terminated. |
| | used for running MSN 7,0 handwriting / journal viewer |
| | It's also used for MSN 7 handwriting. Not dangerous. |
| RenegadE | Start again everytime when I kill the process. All instructions to remove were fulfilled and the file is going again with high priority. Very bad. |
| Rick | This file crashed on my system at work hoged all system resources for about 5 min till windows killed it. Caused Win Media Player to Skip Badly on a known good mp3. Locked access to it, adobe still works, system hasen't had a problem since. |
| Detlev Dalitz | WISPTIS.EXE starts together with Adobe Acrobat Reader 6 and remains in memory after Acrobat has been closed. It runs with priority 1 that is one step below realtime process and eatens up about 4.5 MB RAM. I think it is an annoyance and strain to the system and to the user since it is not longer useful after Acrobat has been closed. |
| Jodawi | Periodically uses 100% of one of my CPUs, and I have to force-quit it. I have no tablet. |
| | It gets you autokilled on mIRC for website advertising. |
| Muhammad Asali | Nowadays, it is linked to the new MSN Messenger version 7.0; since this software allows sending a handwriting messages, hence it invokes the wisptis.exe file. However, it will not be turned off when you sign-out from the messenger. You need to turn it off manually from the Task Manager. |
| CharlieP | Probably launches with Acrobat 6.0 std to support Redlining function. |
| Attila | Unless you have a Tablet PC it is just a complete waste of your valuable memory. It allocates around 5MB! Microsoft being an untalented bastard thinks that everyone who hasn't a Tablet PC should suck. However, it is quite easy to get rid of that resource pig. First terminate it (wisptis.exe) in the Task Manager then issue the following command: %SystemRoot%\system32\wisptis.exe -unregserver . This will prevent it from further starts. Microsoft and Adobe should correct their poorly written bugwares as soon as possible. |

| R Jacobs | I don't have a tablet PC, have been on W2K for months, have not run Acrobat, Powerpoint or any of the other programs mentioned since I rebooted and today is the first time I've seen this in Task Manager. Also noticed new tasks obyhtue.exe and jucheck.exe, which I will also be checking on. |
| terence | when using citrix server, or windows server 2003 with terminal services, and an application calls adobe reader to open a file.. when the user tries to close the program.. thie file is still running as a process, and the user has no rights to kill processes, so they are stuck in the application window with no application running.. and if they disconnect and reconnect to the application, guess what.. this process is still running so it connects them to the same application |
| Brian Tate | Not dangerous, but really f'ing annoying... My always speedy system has had nothing but problems since it showed up a few months ago, and I couldn't figure out why... Memory couldn't be 'read', and things were crashing, and everything was slow.... Now that it's gone, everthing is back to normal... |

| larsh@gawab | High Risk if not in C:\WINNT\system32 folder |
| Obsidian Eternus | It frequently accesses my swapfile even when no applications are running and I'm sitting at the desktop. Verified by checking my swapdisk read/write counters before and after termination of the process. It's needed by MSN Messenger 7.0 (actually Windows Journal Viewer), confirming some users's suspicions, and does NOT come with the Wacom Graphire 3 tablet as Frederick Tronboll and Rinus Leeuw have alleged. It seems to affect the performance of all of my applications (except, strangely enough, 3d apps, which would imply that it does indeed use lots of GDI resources.) |
| Cid | I use Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 daily, as well as my WACOM pen tablet. I close wisptis, and my pen still functions, including pressure sensitivity (Photoshop). When I launch MSN Messenger (MS Journal Viewer Plugin installed) that is when wisptis reappears. As of today, my computer has been running for sixteen hours, and the application didn't seem to budge over 304k of memory usage. |
| Lara | This is the most annoying process. It doesn't exit with acrobat, and keeps running till it chews up 4000 gdi objects, and all my applications flicker because there are no GDI objects left, and if I can't somehow manage to get to taskmanager and close it, I have to reboot. Also a pain cos I tried deleting it or renaming it, and it just kept coming back! |
| annoyed | It keeps running on my machine, however, I have a user where every time she tries to open a PDF it pops a brief dos screen trying to run WISPTIS, but it takes acrobat a very long time to open. |
| ashley summers | i opened it because i like playing around with my systems and i know what im doing and it stop my mouse so i had to go into task manager and end it but hey i doont know what its used for |
| jeeves555 | It is linked to Microsoft Journal Viewer and MSN, for the handwriting plug in-not at all dangerous. Agree with the last 2 posts. |

| ouyxrd | what has been learned in this forum. I have an opinion that since i peridocially use adobe and MSNMsg, setting the "priority" to low might help free up some resourse. ... even though the "warning of instability" window is displayed. I'll see what "low" prioritydoes to de-stabalize Trek...and if it falters, I'll have Scotty in engineering re-set the buffers and re-energize the blasted thing. |

| IHateWisptis | MindManager also install it. Remove NonTableOS from installation. |
| budakkl. | I have HP TC1000 Tablet. When boot up pen work work till I kill the WISPTIS process. (of course it reappear in the process) but now the pen works fine. The darn thing is I have to do it everytime boot up or else pen wont work!!! |
| Rob F. | Why not change the ACL properties on the file. I unchecked the "Inherit permissions..." box and removed all users. I haven't had a problem yet. I use MS Office 2003 and Acrobat Reader without any issues. |
| m ke | not problem |
| SafeBoy | MSN Handwriting Plugin ... only became active once I changed the msn view (add handwriting ability to chat window thingy) ... so I guess rather neutral. Just KILL the process tree ... all gone. |
| | Try Again, - I have Hacker Eliminator and this is the extrapolation I got from the code of WISPTIS.EXE notice ('GetDesktopWindow'....code used for screen capturing) and 'CallNextHookEx','SetWindowsHookExW' etc. Have to get hacker eliminator to see it all but it looks suspiciously like someone is capturing screens and hooking files.

| Hendrik | Came with msn, nothing to care about |
| | Seemed to arrive with Adobe updates. I followed the procedure for disabling both handwriting and handwiriting components, can't find the file, but it still loads from somewhere. Not dangerous, but a bleeding resource hog. |
| OldBing | When I saw a PDF icon on my IE tool bar.. |
| sandtinker | My computer is almost unusable every morning until I kill the process in the Task Manager. Whenever the PC response time gets annoying, I find this program has relaunched itself. It is a real nuisance. I don't have a tablet, but I do open lots of PDF files. |
| matt | if you're not using a tablet there's no need for this to be running. |
| Graeme | MSN HandWriting Tool |
| Razarr69 | Good method to disable it. Kill the process. Rename the wisptis.exe to wisptis.exeX then create a blank textfile and rename that file wisptis.exe and place it in the folder the original was in. To be extra cautious, you could then change it to a read only and modify the permissions to read only and DENY change/delete rights to EVERYONE. That will stop the system from getting to it and changing things. I've done this for persistent adware / spyware in the past and it works well to prevent reinfection. |
| Jeff - Australia | Definitely started with the MSN Chat Handwiriting option. Needed a hard-reset after it screwed up my PC. |
| | Allows for handwriting in MSN Messenger. At 2,136KB it's not very big at all. Closing Messenger doesn't close the file, but unless you have a limited amount of memory, it should be fine. |
| Dave | Not dangerous, but definitely annoying. |
| charlie | Find out after use MSN with handwrite function. |
| Citizen kane | N/A on my system, though I DO use MS 2003 AND msn. Only not the handwriting plugin |
| Vpoint7 | From WinXP Installations (Original) |
| voyagerfan5761 | I accidentally started a second instance of this program and it disabled all pointing devices. Both the built-in Synaptics touchpad and USB mouse were disabled. I had to use the keyboard and Task Manager to stop it. Therefore, it gets a mildly dangerous rating, because it can potentially disable all pointing devices and render a computer nearly impossible to operate. |
| | Started by Microsoft Office Document Imaging (those .mdi files) |
| | In all the above responses, only one guy had a way of disabling this. If you use NTFS, simply make sure you are the owner of this file, stop inheriting permissions, then remove all permissions to this file. It will stop coming up and not throw errors in Adobe when launched. |
| | handwriting feature, harmless. save a few megs of ram if you turn it off. |
| Mr Monopoly | The file must be good for your system if Micro$oft put it there. After all, they know what is best for you. |
| Mediarocker - IT Administrator | This file is important for many programs, it has writing support for MSN messenger 7.x and it also is used by adobe reader. this program should not be terminated unless its creating problems. for users that are having system stability issues when running adobe, you should contact adobe to fix this problem. it may in fact be due to your own system configuration, it may not have the resources required to run the program. do not attemp to delete this file because it will cripple many programs. |
| jose | c:\windows\system32\wisptis.exe (if your system is windows xp, and it runs, in my case, when microsoft office document imaging is loading) |
| JRMTEZ | It apeared after I installed MSN MSger Plus ...so far it doesnt "seem" to cause any problems...but I'm experiencing some freezing instances sometimes...unfortunatly it activates ALWAYS wheter i have or not the MSN in process...i believe it interferes with the Explorer.exe |
| Mohammed | it starts when you use msn messenger handwriting tool and it cause it to lose connection |
| | If you use messenger 7.5 and want to draw pictures and send to your friend, you need this file. |
| ColdShine | Disabling it as explained here is the only way to prevent it from popping back in the Task Manager. |
| | I suspect it came over with my PDA for recognition in MSOffice. |
| Gore | It's from M$ OneNote2003 to write note by hand ! 7mb needed from ram :/ sucks |
| mofish | used for MSN Hand Writing |
| john | starts with msn messenger handwriting |
| darthroo | File also runs if pen tool is used in Visio |
| GC Guy | Is part of office, it has to do with the tablet interface, still theres no reason for that to run since, so you can shut it down, as for me i dont need it, and my programs work perfect without it, also you can get program blockers or firewalls that you can control applications, as in my case one of my programs i can block entirely that program and not let it run, also i heard some firewalls allow that too, still cant tell much. |
| MEGAXSTU | Uncalled for. I do not have a printer, allocates memory to itself. Interrupts programs. |
| Paulos | I would love to hear more about this . |
| Pasti | in case you don't have a tablet pc or you arent using acrobat reader then it is used for MSN Messenger handwriting plugin |
| Stathis | Keep up this great resource. |
| | Microsoft Program |
| AJS | on my winxp sp2, the process had the GDI Objects count of 9,999. |
| Bill Gay | At work, we still use Windows 2000, junk machines with almost no RAM, so when I tried to kill any junk unuseful processes to recover some RAM ( and be able to continue working (:-D) this shit immediately activates. You can kill it from within task manager, although I noticed that it will reactivate sometime during the shift. Note: It will not activate ever, if I don't kill other processes though. |
| joe | Office 2003 is weird that way, but you should remove it since it takes up 5 megs of your ram, and i know it doesn't sound like a lot but it adds up. See goitexpert.com for more info Siehe auch: Link |
