My experience is that most of the video "drivers" stuff is really 
basically compensation for driver flaws more than anything. I've *never* 
run that, and usually never had a game that had a problem. (And starting 
the service before the game never fixed the problem.)   Indeed, I've 
never figured out what it's for. Maybe high-end stuff like color matching.

Yeah. I use it, but only on an on-demand basis. I usually do a scan 
before a full backup, is all.

Well, at worst, stop it, and if it screws soemthing up, reboot.  But 
generally, if you will crash the machine by stopping it, Windows won't 
let you.

Good luck on that!
