rate3 When I play the game ,,Theatre of War,, ... ATKKBService.exe starts using the CPU massivley.. and therefore the game cannot work as it should... its very laggy... and its not the hardware.   propper
rate0 I have ASUS Motherboard and Video Card, but it uses up processor ressources, sometimes uses up to 99% and it slows the pc down ALOT! Even the moving stars screen saver is slow!   GODSPEED
rate3 Asus display driver   DARTH VADER
rate0 Caused weird errors telling that "memory could not be "read" ".  
rate0 I had this, it caused my PC to restart during any video application, when it was removed, the problem stopped. It was located in Windows folder   Gamer

rate4 This nasty file installed itself on my computer when an ASUS XONAR HDAV 1.3 Deluxe sound card. The soundcard nearly killed my $8-10,000 stereo system (comes on momentarily, maybe 1/2 - 3/4 sec at full volume at over 3.5 volts peak-peak when you turn mute off) so I swiftly removed it from my media centre. Uninstalled it's software but it left this nasty file behind. Complete system hog sometimes causing 3-10sec delay for mouse and keyboard inputs and that is when it did not cause BSoD's. Manually uninstalled it and computer returned to normal. (WinXP 32 bit)   MaddoG
