    do u mean Ptipbmf? if so
    Installed with the miniport drivers for Promise hard drive controllers in both RAID and non-RAID installations. May be necessary in order to maintain preferences applied to the RAID array connected to the Promise controller

    It was a toss up - but given my general lack of posting on the more general forums - I thought I'd 'do my bit' for my profile

    Problem with Google (and some of the replies you get from people on forums - but I do appreciate the replies!) is that what I am actually looking for is a 100% hard & fast answer on whether or not I can delete the process/service. The first term I could not get any decent Google listings for (ALCMTR.exe) - but it did offer plenty of links for something similar with an 'x' in the middle - but I have no idea if it is the same thing


    Here seems to be the upshot:-

    ALCMTR: Realtek audio related - I use an add-in card - so deletion should be OK

    DLACTRLW: Confusing - I don't use a Sonic product and when I try to 'drag & drop' files to a DVD - it does not work. My guess is that this has been installed 'at some point in the past' as part of another product - and that deleting it will not have any negative effect

    PTIPBMF: Promise module necessary for RAID - which I don't use - so also cool to delete

    If this analysis is correct, then I can lose these 3 processes and my PC will be slightly 'cleaner'

    Sound about right ?

    When you say delete, i take it you're just disabling them to run at startup?

    I don't think you can do any damage by turning them off, Windows has safeguards to stop you from screwing up your PC by turning off important processes (i think..)

    I'd try just closing them in task manager when you boot up and if nothing happens by the end of your "session" then you're probably fine.
