causes 2wire wireless network card to work after installing then in my cases causes it to start thowing out SYNC_SENT's when trying to use IE or Firefox browsers. When this happens normal http traffic is halted. This is when using XP. May happen on other OS's. You can see this when you first connect up by going to a CMD (Dos box) and typing "netstat -p TCP 5"
   

Its Needed To Run Wireless Configuration
  Josh B  

I don't have wireless and it still showed up
  Colin  

its part of sbc\at&t installation to get dsl service to run. Keeping it from running under windows 98 can cause connection problems. some firewalls can promt you as to what to do when it is running. Suggestion: allow.
   

Component used in combination with wireless receivers like Speedtouch 120G. Not dangerous. Probably not necessary when you have enabled zero wireless configuration service in Windows
  jlshdfs  

Installed Speedtouch ST120G wireless USB adapter. Everything fine. Afterwards installed Agnitum Security Suite Pro RC. And now I got an error from PRISMSVR at startup. But as stated by others everything seems to works fine.
  Eric-Jan  

belongs to Speedtouch 121G wireless USB monitor. Can be stopped from running without consequences for internetconnection.
  Marchel Konniger  

On my Dell Latitude 800, on boot up, I get an application error from PRISMSVR.EXE and I close the application. I am using a 2wire link card which seems to work just fine.
  John W.  

redundant program for 2wire wireless if you run Windows XP; 2Wire tech support told me to uninstall and system runs fine
  Nils  

this appeared after installing an Inventel UR054g (R01) USB wireless receiver. Now XP hangs occasionally but this could be related to me uninstalling avast anti-virus as well.
  John  

Have installed both Dell and 3COM wireless cards, so could have come from either. Never spotted it as a process before, however killing it does not affect wireless. Seemed to be using a lot of CPU when killed
  Alan Y  

Included in 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG install and removal by ToolBarCop does not effect networking ability.
  Larry W.  

Programm für einen USB W-LAN Adapter. Ungefährlich
  Night Hawk  

Showed up in msconfig after installing SBC DSL & 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG Wireless Modem/Router on my Windows XP SP2 system.
  Michael D.  

came with 3com WLAN USB adapter; freezes my winXP SP1 randomly; after removal everything is still up and running
  Raik  

Was installed with SBC-Yahoo wireless networking on both an XP and a Win 98 SE machine. I stopped the process permanently on the Win 98 SE machine with no effect at all on the wireless networking capabilities. This yielded a 2% gain in system resources according to system monitor.
  Billyray  

Like Alan T. says, but prismsvr is really only used by the 2wire wireless lan card utility. prismsvr will be loaded automatically by the utility when it is started, so it doesn't need to be loaded at system startup. Otherwise all wireless networking will work fine without it
  Billyray  

Shows up after installation of SBC/Yahoo highspeed internet
  JoshDestardi  

If it's from Conexant my speculation is that it is got spyware since it seems to serve no actual purpose. The real purpose is to send your data coming through the wireless modem to got via Rockwell any time it's desired. They do this with Bestdata Rockwell Conexant chipsets too. Yes they do.
   

failed on startup on Dell XPS400 pc with USB wireless lan (1450) card...lan works without it.
  steve  

Installed in startup by SBC-Yahoo DSL software for 2Wire Wireless modem
  Roger  

file is part of the 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG install
  Alan T  

Part of Dlink DWL-G120 software
  Solkre  

It seems to be related to Dells USB wireless, no desktop icons under a active directory setting.
  Tom  

This is also a part of US Robotics WLAN set. Seems to give BSOD's at the most unoppertunate times.
  DiSiLLUSiON  

Comes with the ST120G wireless USB adapter - it is called: PRISM profiles server module - only taking CPU and during time seems to slow down all processing - indeed, when killed, does not affect wireless communicating at all. I really do not know the purpose. Not documented either.
  Jos Klein Velderman  

is prismsvr.exe related to bearshare ?
  Jez  

is a program for ANY wireless adapter connected
  joseph  

Can be delted BUT only if you have the backup software just incase it stuffs up
  joseph  

for some reason i'm getting an error on start up from prismsvr.exe, but my wireless still works fine so doesn't seem to be essential
  Rafe  

Part of Dell Mobile Wireless
  Jim C.  

Same results as Michael (Kevin is correct IMHO)
  Brother Payne  

Showed up in msconfig after installing SBC DSL & 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG Wireless Modem/Router on my Windows XP SP2 system.
  Jerry L.  

It is also part of T-Sinus 154 data II driver prog. Error msg. says PRISM Profiles Server Module has encountered a problem... - if so, then router access is inhibited.
  Verena H.  

Used for various Wireless LAN cards. Now maintained by Conexant who make the chipset.
