| I think it has something to do with webcam or PCI RAID controller card... noticed it after I installed both. However once my system goes into screen saver mode, can't get back to desktop normally and when I do VM303_STI is taking up 99 percent of processor time. Shutting it down from processes tree doesn't really effect my system that much. Haven't been able to trace its purpose and or utility. Asif Attique | |
| Its the driver for my webby but its suppiciosuly called bigdog303 on msconfig | |

| Yep, cheapo webcam app Gregorious I | |
| if you have a Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP Expert TV tuner, you may get the error "Cannot preview video stream". See the site I've listed or remove the file from startup. See also: Link Mark Lewis | |

| Because of this file my TV Tunner does not work! It may be a webcam driver process but I have to kill it before watching TV. nelusan | |

| Came with a Webcam, Apparently its required to use it but i've been hearing things about it. I think it might be smarter just to get a webcam that doesnt give you a potentially adware/spyware application. (Also when i boot up my webcam which is now not working theres weird classical music playing for about 1-4 minutes) Donny | |
| THE FIX !!! It's a TSR proccess called VM303_STI that is launched at startup belonging to A4 tech webcam. To stop it: start menu - run - type "msconfig" (ok) - goto Startup - search for "VM303_STI" - uncheck it - ok - restart - all done king | |
| I haven't installed any web camera on my PC, but vm303_sti.exe is running on my PC somehow. silver | |
| windows 7 - crashed hard drives and lags all time - Uninstall it or find better driver if it is fixed | |
| It is web cam SW (I got this error message after installing Logitech WebCam) | |
| It's a driver for a webcam. I never use mine so I just disabled. Aapo | |
