Mine was added by a Quicktime update and totaly crashed my system. Removal looks easy enough, but as the system locks even in safe mode, can be a real pain to correct sometimes.

I had this problem, and after much looking around for answers, discovered XP desided it didn't like one of the USB devices I had hooked up. I ran into the problem after upgradeing Quicktime to the latest version.

I had the Speedfan problem too. It was working fine for months, until an automatic Windows XP update caused it to conflict. The solution was to uninstall Speedfan entirely, through Add/remove Programs. Rebooting afterwards worked fine.

Speed Fan (V 4.32) seems to run pretty well without it; Windows XP doesn't like it, says it is "destructive" ;-

windows XP and certain other OSs restrict access to the serial, parallel, and other ports. Many programs therefore have to use this sys file to access those ports, rather than having their own device drivers, with dlls, to access external hardware.

Used for direct access to the LPT Parallel Port for example for Holger's Parallel Port AVR Mega Prommer
