As I suspected it seems to be started as a service. Some processes in the Security Context of System, which include services, don't create any window at all or do so temporarily, at least on your logon session. First search your registry for 'BrmfRsmg', and find out the name of the service (:registry's Key name). If you want to prevent it permanently from triggering, just delete the Key. If you merely want to close it, you may use: net stop sevice_name Or you can use PSService.exe: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsService.html However, some services do not accept Stop/Pause request. Then you may have to kill/suspend the process using: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsKill.html http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsSuspend.html Sean ------------------------ Yahoo!
