Pretty harmless but associated with Logitech G15 Software and Teamspeak causes a 2 sec system hangup and increased processor use leading to lower gaming performance

Not necessary, can be loaded when DVD reader/writer is loaded. Takes up about 4 K memory.

If you do want to keep PDVDServ and also making your screensave works, disconnect your wireless keyboard and use weired keyboard instead.

This program/file disabled my screen saver function. Once I deleted it from the start up my screen saver worked. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I am using a wireless mouse and keyboard?

It is totally useless for computer mounted DVD players unless you have a remote controller for yours

This is a process belonging to PowerDVD. Be not scared this process is not dangerous, but can slow down the system (if any screensavers need to have more space you can terminate it)

delete it from the startup location within windows registry-prevents screensaver from working and disable some power management settings when used with microsoft intellipoint software.
