ATI Catalyst 5.11 Performance Analysis and Driver Download

[Milhouse Van Houten]

Cli.exe doesn't exist on my machine, so it must be a part of just the
CCC version. The only thing running, that I know about, is
ati2evxx.exe. I have the two services (ATI Smart and ATI Hotkey
Poller) turned off.

I looked up ati2evxx.exe, and it seems that it's the "ATI External Event
Utility" which "manages the ATI Hotkey feature." Why ATI needs both a
service and a task for hotkeys is a little puzzling, but apparently it can
be prevented from starting up with Msconfig.

Oops! Apparently both ATI Smart and ATI Hotkey
Poller services had gotten themselves turned on again. I had put them
on Manual, but now I have them set as Disabled. There's nothing in
that I can see in my Startup utility that's from ATI.

I tried Spearhead after I saw your post and it is working for me, but MOH:AA
is not

Ah, so ati2evxx.exe is ATI Hotkey then. (And ATI Smart is ati2sgag.exe.)
That makes more sense than ATI having two different components to handle
hotkeys.
