rate5 Probably it is for Lgitech cordless mouse. It sometimes spend almost 100% of CPU power of my PC system, and it make the system slmost halt!  
rate1 Logitech saves your mouse sensitivity seperately from the Microsoft built in one. Since they together are used to determine the final sensitivity, KAHLMNPR.exe just sets the Microsoft mouse value to zero.  See also: Link   IamGav

rate1 This is the driver for the logitech cordless Keyboard and Mouse. They will work without, but some functions will be inactive. e.g. the side scroll option on the mouse wheel will not work and the shortcuts on the keyboard will not function.   Saint N

rate3 I guess it's part of my logitech bluetooth mouse and Keyboard, but it seems to slow my pc down. after I end the process in the task manager everything runs better.   BillerDude
rate3 Just change the file to: Khalmnpr.ex_ .works great!  
rate1 It is a process installed with Logitech Mouse drivers. However, you can disable it in msconfig, and still have full use of your mouse. I have a Logitech MBJ58 Optical Mouse, have it disabled and the mouse works fine, all buttons and the whell included. So turn it off, unless you need more functions than the basic necessities. But you can still set all of the mouse options without it.   Ytsejam777
rate1 Why can't Logitech name it something that makes more sense. Like mouseassist.exe or mousetool.exe or Logmousething.exe what the crap does KHALMNPR.exe stand for?   Dave
rate1 this file if rem oved as said many times will change the functions of most logitech hardware IE mouse jeyboards even cams.   Robert
rate2 SetPoint will start this process anyway so any individual entry for KHALMNPR.EXE can be removed to possibly increase boot speed. Look for it under the Startup tab of msconfig.   Wobbly
rate1 When I Stopped the process the buttons of my G5 Mouse did'nt work anymore, Don't be so afraid for an unknown file! ;)   BomaZ
rate1 Got it when I installed my G5 Logitach mouse. Used to let my logitech software control DPI setting instead of windows.   seePyou
rate1 It's Logitech Software   Jere
rate2 yes it is from logitech and i dont know too, if u gonna need it...it isnt dangerous ;)   andy
rate1 Chillax its part of the awesome mouse you got.   STFU...
rate1 This program keeps resetting user mouse profiles; if you are not using setpoint to control profiles, it should be disabled from running by deleting or renaming the corresponding registry entry under key : HKLM\software\microsoft\cwindows\currentversion\run   TheNobes
rate1 Comes with Logitech Setpoint Software. Doesn't use CPU cycles at all and I use all the features inc. sensitivity changes for games   Loverat
rate1 Logitech's buggy mouse software. Mouse will run much better without it (more control and precision) but not at all properly in some games.   Mugga
rate3 Crummy Logitech software didn't remove this when I uninstalled the product (for a V450)   Tom
rate1 logitech/dell bluetooth keyboard/mouse. logitech setpoint main process.   MSL
rate1 mx3200 keyboard/mouse drivers   Andy
rate1 Installed with my Logitech G5 mouse. It is needed for the extra functions for the mouse. namely the SetPoint software drivers so you use more buttons, different ways to scroll, etc. If you bought this mouse and disable this then you wasted alot of money by not being able to access its many features.   jmantu
rate1 HID-software, not dangerous.   mfyr
rate1 Associated w/ driver for Logitech mouse (using MX610 Laser Cordless)   James

rate3 It's a part of SetPoint for blue tooth mouse and/or keyboard. If I let it run during Windows XP startup, the Win XP startup sound quits immediately after it starts. :(   Irina
rate1 logitech setpointer file   BrainBug
rate1 Logitech mouse driver, Logitech MX™ Revolution users it.  See also: Link   pajkson
rate1 It's controlling additional keys and feautures of Logitech mice.   SerBull
rate0 It's for my Locitech Trackball Mouse. Without it, my system won't remember that I've set my mouse up as left-handed (switch left and right buttons). It's ok until I reboot without SetPoint, then it defaults to right-handed. However, now that I've re-installed this software, my Logitech Quick Cam won't respond to left/right/up/down commands, and gives me an error if I try to use the Zoom function, in the Control Panel program camcpl.cpl  
rate1 It is harmless. it is allways something else there is causing the problems.   Pande
rate1 Logitech Mouse driver. The parent process - Logitech SetPoint. Its usage of RAM is about 2.6mb   gif
rate3 Big memory hog but programs are not necessary for mouse/keyboard to run. Windows still recognizes them. I uninstalled programs because it slowed my pc A LOT and pc works fine now.   MIKE L
rate4 There's one in \Windows. There's one in \PF\CF\Logitech\KHAL. That one is more up-to-date and disappears immediately if you run it manually. The one in Windows does not. In Registry the \Run key points to the one in Windows (by not specifying a path, thus relying on your %PATH% env variable). Odd since everything else "Logitech" in the registry is fully-pathed to its specific location. I suspect the one appearing in \Windows is a virus. Not exactly uncommon to "hide" a virus by spoofing and masking another "legitimate" file.   Greg
rate1 It is not required to run the mouse but is required to use setpoint software to enable differant profiles for differant games. Also without it you may not be able to use custom speed settings and may only be able to select the factory 3 speeds instead of the user determined 5 speeds   Will
rate1 Its a Software from Logitech, its come from SetPoint, You have a new mouse? you have the g5? than its not a problem and not dangerous  See also: Link   Liketisplitt
rate2 Installed with each separate installation of Logitech keyboad and mouse . . . two instances were running, one interferring with other. They were NOT removed when I uninstalled SetPoint (Logitech) - reverting to more basic trackball . .   Albert
rate1 Essential component of all versions of Logitech SetPoint driver software, which controls customization of Logitech mouse buttons/functions. SetPoint (and, hence, mouse buttons/functions) may fail to function if this process is ended. Safe.  See also: Link   Norbert
rate1 Logitech. Fully safe   Tom
rate1 logitech g5 driver software   PhoenixOrg
rate2 Necessary for extra buttons of logitech mices.   Claudius
rate0 ITS NOT A VIRUS this is the setpoitn software that runs your logitech cordless mouse if you disable it then it will eat system resources because setpoint cant run without it and cripples the whole program   ALAN
rate1 part of Logitec Sharepoint Mouse and Keyboard-Software   Georg
rate1 This is used in logitech mouse drivers, make sure on msconfig it is located in the Program Files\Logitech Folder though! Removing this if its the valid Logitech program will stop your mouse's "extra" buttons or "binded" functions from working!  See also: Link   MinuteDesigns
rate0 for Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse  
rate1 This element prevents my appraisal software to recieve updates.   Everett
rate3 khalmnpr.exe loads twice in my msconfig. It is not available for removal from Control Panel. A search of the desktop cannot find the executable file which should have been removed when I uninstalled Logitech a few months ago. I have disabled it at startup although I believe its presence in msconfig is simply a registry entry error. It may be essential for some users of Logitech hardware, but it is not for me.   James Fuller

rate1 installed with logitech ex 100, allows keyboard hotkeys   luke904
rate1 Runs My Logitech EX100 mouse & keyboard. If you wan't to use the special features on your keyboard and mouse, I suggest you leave it alone. You will loose your FN key and all the other FN functions if you uninstall it. Just go to Logitech.com and look under support. I have the Quickcam Pro 9000, it doesn't effect it in any way.   Dennis
rate0 For Logitech Mouse; personally I think it's a bunch of crap. It's supposed to be for special functions. i.e., I have the V220 cordless, I can change the wheel to perform other functions (copy, paste, etc.) but it usually doesn't work, so I'm thinking of unchecking it in msconfig.   Mish
rate4 This thing causes that my screen switches off directly after the windows turns on.   Slovakia
rate0 I have 5 copies of it C:\windows 2 in C:\program files... 2 in c:\windows/system32   Ken B
rate1 Logitech's Driver File   Brett
rate3 I didn't notice that it was there until after I installed my G9 Laser Mouse. I'm running setpoint also.   chokfulla
rate4 My computer was minimizing windows and opening browsers when I pressed the blank key. AFter having disabled this process it worked as normal again.   lax
rate4 It is a memory hog and start-up baggage & for what? Recommend uninstalling   carlcampbell
rate1 If it causes problems, click Start, Run, Type "msconfig", Click "OK", Click "Startup" tab, Uncheck the box next to it on the list, click "Apply", Click "OK", Restart Computer.   Sir. Sanity
rate0 Mouse sporatically wacky. Might be Khalmnpr.exe causing this.   DB
rate1 It should be enabled if you want to use the extra functions of the Logitech product   Gary
rate1 I think this is file that is connected with Logitech wireless mouse   macros

rate2 This driver is used for logitech products, such as mice/keyboard ect.. i use this with my g700 mice for profile settings. very useful for gaming :), simple remove from add/remove programs   C-BO
rate4 Seems connected with Setpoint but tends to conflict with Setpoint whatever it is because I loose my forward and back buttons all the time. :( I'd say get rid of it.   Lee
rate1 It's part of my Logitech MX815 mouse drivers, called Logitech Unifying Software. It's a SetPoint tool for this style of gaming mouse. I've had no trouble with it at all, and I game at 1800dpi all the time. Mines in the red color from Target, and I've had it for 5 years now - great mouse.   LNS-Front242-T3
