CTHelper Nick G 6/16/2007 5:39:00 PM I have a new computer. A fresh build of Visa Home Premium. I have always had a message at start-up telling me that CTHelper application has failed and is closing.. Do I need CTHelper? If not how do I stop the message? If I do need it how to I install it? Thanks Nick

Re: CTHelper "Dustin Harper" <dharper[ at ]vistarip.com> 6/16/2007 7:20:28 PM CTHelper is part of the Creative Labs drivers and plugins. It can be disabled, especially since it is having issues. This page seems to give conflicting recommendations: -- Dustin Harper dharper[ at ]vistarip.com http://www.vistarip.com -- "Nick G" <Nick G[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:44D3BCB4-AF75-4A21-8D73-DF9CB82A71D1[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: CTHelper "Dustin Harper" <dharper[ at ]vistarip.com> 6/16/2007 7:26:07 PM Sorry, post got sent before I could finish... This page has conflicting recommendations. http://www.processlibrary.com/directory?files=CTHELPER If you do a lot of gaming or audio applications, you may run into an issue. But since it's not running anyway, I don't see a problem. However, make sure you have the current Sound Blaster drivers. It may correct the issue you are having. -- Dustin Harper dharper[ at ]vistarip.com http://www.vistarip.com -- "Dustin Harper" <dharper[ at ]vistarip.com> wrote in message news:6CBCB2F8-3A0D-4083-9D3A-E8F42F0B7C90[ at ]microsoft.com...

It can be unchecked on the startup tab of msconfig. I do that even though it doesn't give an error on this system. For my purposes it's another unneeded startup app. Here's another link with a bit more detailed info on the impact of Cthelper.
