"should not see me" program

Hmmmm.....

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...+me%22+program

Each of the last three times I have installed XP Pro on my big machine, I have noticed this program. The only reason I have noticed it is that once I connect the fresh system to the internet, Windows XP Pro gives me an "End Program" prompt during the next shutdown, but the program will respond before the timer for the prompt ends. I have run Housecall, PCCillin, Norton, and McAfee on this system, and not one thing has been found.

Also, each install I connected to the internet after shutting down post 4-in-1 installation...


I'm gonna look around that google search. Anybody else ever run into this?

Somebody was asking about this the other day. But, for some reason, the 'search' is not working for me. I can't even get a match for "not".

Anyway, I've only ever seen it after installing VIA Chipset software, and I think maybe after Notron AV.

Hmm, this is interesting, a flaw with "Windows Installer"?

I found about the only reference to it over at VMWare

New version of Windows installer that should prevent "you should not see me" dialog boxes when installing VMware Workstation on a Windows 2000 host operating system or installing VMware Tools inside a Windows 2000 guest operating system

I searched for the term, I swear!

Oh well...yeah, I'm pretty sure it did it to me when I put 2Kpro on it temporarily as well (the KT133a). The only time I have seen this error is on VIA KT boards.

I see that program every time i install ATI drivers, it pops up for a second and then exits normally. I figured it was the ATI program cleaning up and the CPU just took too long to finish the job.

Well I doubt it is specifically the ati drivers.
I've recently owned my first lol, and had it on my nvidia systems.
However, I haven't seen it for a long time.
I'm now using windows server 2003, so I don't install any junk on here.

The error has showed up on bare systems. Those being systems with driver software only. So I don't think it to be in any of the loads of junk software that come with such expensive hardware (nice to see MSI joining the ranks of Creative)
