Do not delete! This one is a system file. You can delete it but this is a BAD IDEA. Shutting it down and you'll loose the Bass & Treble settings from the xp sound control... Takes NO CPU at all, 30Mb max reserved in memory, it uses 4Mb when working....

File may be used to mask malicious file. To stop process download process download iolo System Mechanic. Under "Reports" - Intellius status - locate dangerous processes. Open tab marked "Dangerous" and hit configure button for options. Select process and Right Click to select "Stop Process and prevent from starting..." Overall System Mechanic is an excellent piece of software which I really enjoy using. But be careful, since it sometimes is a bit "too" strong and may delete vital registry entries. So excercise care.

It came with it after i installed my SB Live sound card. It gave me problems with running flash or games on my computer (XP) and caused me to restart all the time, After updating the drivers from creative's website, the thing disappeared. Problem solved.

SystemMechanic6 said my copy of devldr32.exe was not the "legitimate" version from Creative. I have at least 15 copies of it appearing in Task Manager. I tried to incinerate the file but it came back after rebooting. I can't disable it at all -- prompts keep telling me the file must no longer exist -- but it still appears to be tying up my resources.

Mein Problem mit dieser EXE ist, dass ich auf manche Ordner auf Festplatten nich zugreifen kann. Der Ordner geht auf aber ich kann dann nichtsmehr auswählen. Nach ein paar Sekunden kommt dann die Fehlermeldung, dass die devldr.exe einen Fehler hat und beendet werden muss.....

Runs under user name all the time. It does not seem to cause any harm. I checked the file date and it goes back to the original build dates which indicates it is probably OK, The file details show it as a Creative file. Like a lot of these, I would say a virus file may impersonate it, which could be detected by file date and some of the properties of the file after finding it in a file search,

The EXE reappears because xp is caching devldr32.exe in its cache. To find the cache file, make sure you can see system and hidden files. You will find out that devldr32.exe exists in C:\Windows\system32\dllcache. Remove it and it will stop reappearing.
