Check Device Manager for related hardware. Could have something to do with
sound card.

Use Start - Run - REGEDIT

Use Edit - Find and enter OSAIO in the search box.

That should find what is launching it.

Good luck

Thank you for the replies. All I found in the registry were these:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_OSAIO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\osaio
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\Root\LEGACY_OSAIO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\osaio
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_OSAIO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\osaio

the only item of any use is
ImagePath=\SystemRoot\system32\drivers\osaio.sys

and of course this file doesn't exist which is what the
service log is saying.

think I will make a checkpoint, then delete all the above.
