It's what it is people, "Start up splash!".. Meaning: Just a short movie to show you that "creative software has been added to your system for your speakers and new surround system you got threw adding your self... If you don't like the splash film, then simply turn it off in "options" by looking up "Creative" in your all programs files.. But far as removing it, do so by removing the file by hand if you must a look it up - you don't want to remove what you just added for your system to run.. I run Extigy threw USB, and this is simply the start up splash film to show you it's installed ..

It's just a routine to show the Creative EAX logo and sound on bootup. Can be disabled easily through the included Creative Labs program group (at least, on my Extigy).
