CTHelper

[Guest]

I have a new computer. A fresh build of Visa Home Premium.

I have always had a message at start-up telling me that CTHelper application
has failed and is closing..

Do I need CTHelper? If not how do I stop the message?

If I do need it how to I install it?

Thanks

Nick

CTHelper is part of the Creative Labs drivers and plugins. It can be
disabled, especially since it is having issues.

This page seems to give conflicting recommendations:

If you do a lot of gaming or audio applications, you may run into an issue.
But since it's not running anyway, I don't see a problem.

However, make sure you have the current Sound Blaster drivers. It may
correct the issue you are having.

It's a non essential process associated with the Creative Labs sound driver.
It can be unchecked on the startup tab of msconfig. I do that even though
it doesn't give an error on this system. For my purposes it's another
unneeded startup app.

Here's another link with a bit more detailed info on the impact of Cthelper.
